The National Assembly of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
STEPANAKERT (Parliament Press Service)-After its Wednesday legislative
session, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic National Assembly issued
an announcement condemning Azerbaijan's recent military threats,
warning that Azeri efforts are aimed at derailing the conflict
resolution process.
"Recent developments in the Karabakh conflict resolution process
demonstrate Azerbaijan's blatant non-constructive approach. By
using various media, the Azeri leadership is creating the illusion of
dissatisfaction with the internationally mediated process. In reality,
however, the policies of that country aim to shift the military and
political balance in the region in its favor by unveiled threats
of future war against Artsakh," read the parliament statement,"
the announcement said.
"Under these circumstance the Artsakh parliament, characterizes recent
public statements by high-ranking officials as an uncompromising
posturing for a party to the negotiations. This is rife with
possibilities for the Karabakh side to lose confidence in the peaceful
resolution of the conflict," continued the statement.
"The authorities of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, on numerous
occasions, have warned international organizations and stakeholders
in the conflict resolution process of Azerbaijan's military-leaning
foreign policy, which completely contradicts the responsibilities, to
which that country has agreed while becoming a members of international
organizations," added the statement.
"All of this points to official Baku's intentions to derail the
negotiations and undermine the stability of the region, through
continued propaganda about alleged tensions in the Karabakh-Azerbaijan
borders," explained the announcement.
Through the announcement, the Karabakh National Assembly aimed to alert
the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen, the legislatures of the mediating
countries, as well as EU and CIS structures of the dangers inherent
in the aforementioned Azeri approach.
"The bold steps by Azerbaijan call into question the success of efforts
by the international community to establish peace and stability in
South Caucasus," warned the announcement.
Citing the will of the people of Artsakh, the National Assembly pledged
that it would take it upon itself to initiate efforts in light of
these developments and called on the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Foreign
Ministry to inform the OSCE Ministerial Council of this announcement
when it convenes in Athens next week.
