as Azerbaijan does"
24 May 2008 [14:11] – Today.Az
"Inadmissibility of military actions and strengthening of ceasefire
regime should become common priorities in the resolution of the
Karabakh conflict".
The due announcement was made by ambassador Vladimir Kazimirov, deputy
chairman of the Association of Russian diplomats, former head of
Russia’s mediatory mission on Nagorno Karabakh during the
international conference on the 20th anniversary of the separatist
Karabakh movement, held in Khankendi.
He said in conditions when one party hopes for a military revenge,
while other parties, fearing renewal of hostilities, strive for
retaining favorable military positions, the space for adoption of
political decisions is limited dramatically.
At the same time, the Russian diplomat noted that "a stronger party
fell victim of previous military actions, which encourages it to
revenge" and "in other conflicts no country declares the stake on
force so loudly as Baku does".
"Lack of alternative to the peaceful resolution of the conflict meets
the interests of the world society and Russia, in particular", said
Kazimirov. Touching upon the activity of the mediators, the diplomat
spoke for a more decisive resistance of the OSCE "to any steps,
contradicting its peace-keeping mandate".
Kazimirov said at the same time that the working chairmen of the OSCE
mostly make general optimistic statements. Touching upon the violation
of ceasefire on the contact frontline, Kazimirov noted that spreading
information about ceasefire violation by the Armenian side, Azerbaijan
does not make any steps to reduce number of violations and tensions.
"I am here to promote the peaceful resolution of this complicated
conflict", said the Russian diplomat, commenting on his participation
in the conference in the self-declared "Nagorno Karabakh Republic".
