/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The latest statement issued by the International
Crisis Group (ICG) has inherited negative aspects of the
Azerbaijan-Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The authors attempt to represent
the conflict as a territorial dispute between Armenia and Azerbaijan
and level NKR's importance in the settlement process. They also hush
up the problem of Armenian refugees and NKR occupied territories
(Shahumyan region and a part of Martakert and Martuni regions),"
says NKR Foreign Ministry's statement on Nagorno Karabakh: Risking
War report.
"The ICG presses for soonest signature of an agreement between Armenia
and Azerbaijan without NKR's participation and assures Armenia and
Karabakh that war will appear as inevitable alternative to such a
hasty agreement.
"The ICG represents the idea of granting a status to Nagorno Karabakh
as positive factor and concession.
However, it's noteworthy that the Group's Breaking the Kosovo
Stalemate: Europe's Responsibility, Europe Report N°185, 21 August
2007, says that any scenario supposing delay of the province's
independence "would be considered as act of perfidy against the
people."
"The ICG report on Nagorno Karabakh neglects logic and principles
applied to Kosovo. ICG's reports on Kosovo state strong necessity
of soonest recognition of independence, since it's the best way to
prevent escalation of the conflict. Meanwhile, the same argumentation
perfectly fits the Azeri-Karabakh conflict as well.
"Admitting that Azerbaijan is the only threat to peace in the region,
the authors of the report, nevertheless, offer Karabakh to make
one-sided concessions. Such an approach proves that the ICG doesn't
realize the amount of responsibility the mediating individuals and
organizations assume," the NKR MFA statement says.
