/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian and Azeri FMs will focus on two
known factors or "principles" of settlement out of almost 10 –
referendum over Nagorno Karabakh and the schedule of withdrawal of
troops. One-sided concessions should not be expected – progress may be
only mutual, former Russian Co-Chair of the OSCE MG Vladimir Kazimirov
told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, guessing the results
of the meeting of the FMs is rather awkward. "Nothing can be decided
on Karabakh issue in other places," the Russian diplomat said. This
is confirmed by the parties failing to meet the UN SC resolutions in
1993, except for the cease-fire," Kazimirov underscored.
"The case had at the time an extraordinary development – the SC
refused to receive them over the Karabakh at all due to ignoring the
resolutions. Urges to fulfill these, made by the parties to conflict,
are hypocrisy examples. It is necessary to solve the conflict there,
where it should be solved and not to chase soap bubbles from aside. For
the time being the party, which is most interested in a peaceful
settlement, is isolated from contacts, the other is not hurrying
that much and the third does not wish it in the near future. 2006
is almost over, but it cannot hand on the baton to the next year,
but only 2009," Kazimirov said.
