    AZERI POLITICAL PARTIES, NGO CHASTISE MEDIATORS IN NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT

    Russia

    A number of Azeri political parties and nongovernmental organizations
    have called on the Minsk OSCE Group on the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement
    to "show a sense of responsibility in its mediation of the conflict,"
    the ruling Eni-Azerbaijan party told Interfax.

    "The co-chairmen [Russia, the U.S., and France] of the Minsk OSCE
    Group are not impartial in their dealings with the sides to the
    conflict [the Azeri-Armenian conflict]. In some cases they have made
    statements that cover the aggressive acts of Armenia and have undertook
    steps that have not contributed to a resolution of the conflict,"
    said a statement adopted by some parties and the National Forum of
    nongovernmental organizations at a roundtable on Monday.

    This attitude was on display during voting at the 62nd session of the
    UN General Assembly on a resolution introduced by Azerbaijan calling
    for the withdrawal of all Armenian troops in the conflict area.

    "The parties and the National NGO Forum that signed the call
    resolutely condemned the Minsk OSCE Group chairmen's stance regarding
    the aforementioned UN General Assembly resolution and called on them
    to act based on the standards and principles of international law,"
    the document says.

    The statement, adopted at the initiative of the ruling Eni Azerbaijan
    party, has been forwarded to the embassies of the cochairmen of the
    Minsk OSCE Group for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
