The opportunities for real, tangible progress in the settlement of the
Karabakh conflict are not big now, former Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk
Group Vladimir Kazimirov told a press conference today. According
to him, "the "key" to the resolution of the Karabakh conflict is not
allowing the military actions to resume. Until this danger persists,
and Azeris think about the opportunity of a military solution to
the conflict, Armenians, naturally, also maintain more privileged
military position, reinforcing the line of contact. Thus, the issue
still remains on the military field, not the political one."

"It is necessary to exclude any opportunity for resumption of military
actions. Unlike the relatively young conflicts existing in the region,
the Karabakh issue has a grounded and deep prehistory, which results
in mistrust and even hatred between the parties. The functioning
of the agreement on the non-resumption of military actions should
be guaranteed by both parties, both sides should be ready for that,
which is not the case now," Vladimir Kazimirov said.

According to Mr. Kazimirov, this is connected with a number of
peculiarities of the conflict: the party that won the in the war
did not seem stronger than the losing side, and this has caused a
natural desire for revenge. He pointed out that none of the parties
to conflicts over post-Soviet space focuses as much on military
solution as Baku does on the highest official level. "First of all,
this approach must be eliminated: this is the milestone of the issue,
and only its solution will exclude the further resumption of war,"
Vladimir Kazimirov added.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
