Baku, 10 May: The Karabakh Liberation Organization [KLO] issued
a statement today condemning the remarks of the Caucasus project
director of the International Crisis Group [ICG], Sabine Fraizer,
on the settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict, the KLO press
service has told APA.
The statement says that the ICG’s approach to the settlement of
the conflict favours a defeatist peace. The ICG has been promoting
Armenia’s political ideas from the very beginning, and therefore,
is demanding that the peace talks continue, it said.
The KLO also said that it is unacceptable to deploy peacekeeping troops
in this process: “By using tension on the front line as an excuse,
Sabine Fraizer is trying to distract public opinion in Azerbaijan from
the war and has achieved this in some way. Since Armenia started the
war against Azerbaijan, peacekeepers can be deployed only along the
border between the two countries.”
