Azeri pressure group urges authorities to reject mediators' peace
proposals
Baku, 4 December: A number of reports on the [recent] meeting of the
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen and the Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign
ministers in Madrid causes concern, says a statement issued by the
Karabakh Liberation Organization [KLO] today, Day.az has learnt from
the KLO press service.
"The submission by the co-chairmen of a document which contains the
key principles of the [Nagornyy Karabakh] conflict resolution, the
concealing from the Azerbaijani people of the contents of the
document, as well as of information issued by some sources concerning
the presence in the document of a provision on a referendum,
demonstrate that international organizations are not going to
approach the issue objectively and do not want to take measures to
punish the occupier Armenia. The co-chairmen have once again
demonstrated that they are pro-Armenian and protect the interests of
the countries they represent," the statement says.
The KLO believes that mediation by countries and international
organizations that cannot objectively assess the actions of Armenia,
which has occupied [part of] Azerbaijan, cannot yield a positive
result. The authors of the statement believe that the co-chairmen's
proposals, including the key principles of conflict resolution, are
aimed at forcing Azerbaijan into accepting a defeatist peace.
"The co-chairing countries are trying to solve the problem ahead of
the presidential election in Armenia [19 February 2008] in order to
ease the work of the forces that will come to power in that country.
The states interested are trying to achieve a durable peace in the
region in order to have a more favourable situation to appropriate
natural resources in the region. The Azerbaijani authorities should
not take an anti-national stance and should by no means agree to the
defeatist proposals," the KLO statement says.
The authors of the statement believe that agreement to the proposals
of the Minsk Group co-chairmen, who are pro-Armenian, is a blow to
national interests.
"Azerbaijan should definitely reject the services of the Minsk Group.
The KLO does not consider the proposals of the Minsk Group to be
expedient and will do its best so the [Azerbaijani] people do not
accept the document signed by the authorities that will make a
concession on this issue," the KLO concludes.
