    A Military Adventure Was Prevented In Artsakh

    `A full day session with the Co-Chairs concluded in Warsaw. We are
    committed to working together for NK peace,' twitted the American
    co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick after the meeting of
    the co-chairs in Warsaw.

    Minsk Group's collaboration and NK peace are urgent and have been on
    the agenda since the Ukrainian developments. In this respect Warlick
    has expressed concerns several times, holding out hope that the
    Ukrainian developments will not lead to change or make the Group
    altogether obsolete.

    Azerbaijan and Turkey have never really liked the Minsk Group format.
    Ankara has always aspired to co-chairmanship, not only in order to
    support Azerbaijan but also being clearly aware that the Minsk Group
    has been a peculiar club of geopolitics where issues beyond the
    Artsakh settlement are being discussed.

    It should be noted that Russia is dissatisfied with the Minsk Group
    format. This format does not allow singlehanded resolution of issues.
    As to Turkey and Azerbaijan, Russia has an eminent historical
    experience of arrangements with them unlike the statistics of
    arrangements with the United States or France. Russia knows how to
    agree with Turkey and Azerbaijan. They know how Russia will agree with
    them.

    It happens at the expense of life, territories and interests of
    Armenians in the Caucasus, which is the price of strengthening of
    Russia's foothold in the Caucasus. Collecting territories, Russia
    needs to establish its military presence in Artsakh before NATO
    appears in Georgia and balances the situation.

    The crisis in Ukraine accelerated the developments, making the future
    of the Minsk Group a topical issue and causing concerns in the United
    States. Notably, Azerbaijan has been expressing dissatisfaction with
    the group's inefficiency more frequently and has been up for causing
    tension in the framework of the big case of `Armenian spy network'.

    At the same time, the West continues to toughen sanctions against
    Russia with respect to the crisis in Ukraine. At the same time, a
    surge of pressure on Turkey with respect to the Armenian cause has
    been noticed.

    In this context, Warlick's twit following the Warsaw meeting of the
    OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs is evidence to agreement to maintain the
    format. Interestingly, two days ago the United States and the EU
    announced their new decisions on sanctions against Russia.

    It is not ruled out that agreement to continue to keep peace in the
    Caucasus through the Minsk Group protecting Artsakh from Russia's
    singlehanded decisions fraught with military provocations has been
    achieved thanks to this.

    There is no need to be surprised that the West's steps may be aimed at
    forcing Russia into an agreement. The point is that Ukraine is not the
    only issue for the West because obviously there is risk of Russian
    military adventures in other directions, including the Caucasus where
    there is Artsakh and Georgia.
