The former co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group on settlement of Karabakh
conflict Vladimir Kazimirov advises not to overestimate the approval of
House Resolution 106 on Armenian Genocide by House Foreign Relations
Committee so far. Envoy V. Kazimirov made the above statement in an
interview with ArmInfo.
‘One should not overestimate this rather procedural decision by the
House Foreign Affairs Committee before the voting at the House of
Representatives if it ever takes place. Even if passed by the House,
it will become just a recommendation to the US President. ‘ Vladimir
Kazimirov said. The Envoy believes it obvious that US Administration
is not concerned about the fair assessment of the events of 1915-23
but cares for its interests in the region. He said the nervousness
in Turkey is clear, while that in Azerbaijan was less natural
and dictated by Armenophobia. ‘It is unlikely to change anything
in Karabakh conflict’s settlement since it has already faced a
deadlock! Although national radicals in both countries may even more
aggravate the tension,’ Vladimir Kazimirov said.
