    Azeri NGO wants Russia kicked out of Karabakh settlement process

    BAKU Oct 27


    OOK, an Azeri nongovernmental organization campaigning for the
    liberation of the Karabakh region, has called on the Azeri authorities
    to bar Russia from participating in the Karabakh negotiations, OOK
    said in a statement released on Monday.

    "Russia's military intervention in Georgia's affairs and steps taken
    by Russia to restore its supremacy in the region pose a danger for the
    fate of Karabakh," the statement said.

    Therefore, "we should not let the initiative in the Karabakh
    settlement process pass over to Russia and should totally refuse from
    this country's mediation," it said.

    Moreover, the organization has urged to reject the mediation mission
    of the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe)
    Minsk Group and suggested the use of a United Nations format as an
    alternative.

    OOK has also urged that parliamentary hearings be held on the Karabakh
    issue to publish the content of all talks on the conflict resolution
    that have been held up until now.

    OOK has called on the country's authorities to renounce the idea of
    holding any kind of vote in Nagorno-Karabakh concerning its status and
    on whether any peacekeeping forces should be deployed in the conflict
    zone. The statement also points to the need to prepare the public and
    the state for a military operation to free the occupied territories.
