/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Madrid principles are leading to a war, Armenian
bloggers stated at the news conference.

According to Hayk Balanyan, during all these years MG OSCE mission
consisted in conflict settlement in the region. Current status quo
was suitable both to conflicting parties and mediators. At present the
situation has changed: no one is comfortable with status quo, and even
less so, USA and Russia, as both states are interested in expanding
their influence to Caucasus. "Yet, their interests aren’t similar, so
a need arises to introduce changes. The only way to change the status
quo mechanism is the war," Balanyan said, adding in recent years MG
OSCE has been watching the course of negotiations. By approving of
Madrid principles, MG OSCE doesn’t exclude the possibility of war.

In the joint statement, issued by MG OSCE Co-Chairs on July 10,
209 at the L’Aquila Summit, Basic Principles for settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are finally specified.

In their declaration, Armenian bloggers announced Madrid principles
to be disastrous for RA, Artsakh and the Armenian nation. "Ceding
territories, which are a part of NKR and the only real safety guarantee
for NKR and RA, return of so called Azeri refugees to Artsakh, as well
as allocation of any military force besides RA Armed Forces in NKR,
radically contradict the interests of Armenian nation and threaten
the future of Armenian statehood," the statement said.
