"The Moscow declaration is the most disgraceful document on
Nagorno Karabakh through the whole modern history and through
the whole process of the Karabakh conflict resolution", considers
Karen Ohadjanyan, coordinator of the "Nagorno Karabakh committee"
"Helsinki Initiative-92".
He noted that "of all existing documents, undersigned by the conflict
parties, this is the only one which lacks a signature of the Karabakh
representative".
He considers that this document completely rules out possible
participation of the Karabakh side in the discussion of the basis
of the future agreement on the resolution of the Karabakh conflict
and replaces the format of the negotiation process in the OSCE Minsk
Group framework.
"The forced change of configuration in the South Caucasus by Russia’s
fault makes its participation in the negotiation process as an
unbiased mediator impossible. And in this connection, the Karabakh
society must realize the danger of the Moscow intrigue for the future
security of the Karabakh people and resist to Russia’s intention to
play a Karabakh card in its favor", noted Ohadjanyan.
He said "the Armenian leadership must define its priciples and
priorities in the resolution of the Karabakh conflict and rule out
any illusions that someone in Nagorno Karabakh will allow somebody
to change the strategic component of the structures of the security
system of the Karabakh people and the whole region".
"The Karabakh leadership must make a statement, giving a political
assessment to the signed declaration and fixing that the interests of
Nagorno Karabakh on the international arena and in the negotiation
process can be represented only by the elected powers of Nagorno
Karabakh.
Not a single document, signed without participation of a representative
of the elected authorities of "Nagorno Karabakh Republic" will be
treated seriously in Nagorno Karabakh", added Ohadjanyan.
