“After Azerbaijan’s attempt at the beginning of this April to repeat aggression against the self-determined NagornoKarabakh Republic it became clear to everyone that if Azerbaijan rejects the packaged settlement of the issue, then there is only one version of step-by-step settlement.”
Reflecting to purchase of “Iskander-M” tactical missile system by Armenia, the magazine reports that experts, following Russia-Azerbaijan Intergovernmental Commission session, express the opinion that Azerbaijan isn’t at all bothered by this circumstance.
“The alleged Armenian unmanned aerial vehicle in the photo is just another toy of Azerbaijani children: to raise the spirit of the Azerbaijani army,” Hovhannisyan said.
“Azerbaijan may get encouraged, however, Russian policy and interests haven’t changed. Russia will pursue its traditional policy, and I don’t consider that changes will be recorded,” the analyst said.
“The most noteworthy in this statement was installation of investigative mechanisms and expansion of Kasprzyk’s office should take place in parallel with content negotiations on the settlement. Maybe many didn’t pay attention to this paragraph, but it was a rather essential observation.”
We urge the parties to remove all remaining obstacles to expanding the mission of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and to make progress on a proposal to establish an OSCE investigative mechanism. The proposals should be implemented together with the immediate resumption of negotiations on a settlement.
“There is no alternative to intensive negotiations. As a result of these very negotiations unexpected agreements will be reached, thus, the mediators should provide those dynamic negotiations not allowing any of the sides to toughen its position,” Macfarlane said.
Commitment to previously reached agreements is a key to the settlement of all other problems, including the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said at the 23rd meeting of the OSCE Ministerial Council in Hamburg.
From the opposite side of the Line of Contact, the monitoring was conducted by Personal Assistant to the CiO Personal Representative Simon Tiller (Great Britain), Field Assistant to the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-inOffice Irji Aberle (Czech Republic), and staff member of the Office Peter Svedberg (Sweden).
While on a working visit to the USA, Prime Minister of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Arayik Harutyunyan on December 5 had a meeting with the leaderships of two Armenian organizations in Washington and took part in the reception organized in the Armenian Embassy.
