    RUSSIA URGES AZERBAIJAN AND ARMENIA TO MAKE PEACE

    Vestnik Kavkaza, Russia

    The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed concerns over the recent
    escalation of tensions on the Azerbaijani-Armenian contact line. The
    ministry urged the sides to stabilize the situation, warning that
    further escalation could have repercussions for the Nagorno-Karabakh
    peace process and realization of the deals signed in Vienna on November
    19, 2013.

    Vyacheslav Kovalenko, Director of Regional Programs of the Institute
    for Caspian Cooperation, says that Russia is taking all the necessary
    measures to prevent detonation of the situation. He notes that any
    military acts would cause casualties, although such high-scale conflict
    is unlikely at the moment, both sides of the conflict are interested
    in peace. The expert adds that the Armed Forces are balanced.

    Andrey Petrov, an analyst of the MSU Center for Information and
    Analysis, says that one of the problems for Nagorno-Karabakh on the
    global scale is lack of international sources of true information.

    Andrzej Kasprzyk, personal representative of the OSCE chairman,
    had made no official declarations ten days before the provocations
    started. The expert believes that it is time for other international
    mediators besides Russia to speak out against tensions between
    Azerbaijan and Armenia and urge them to take a peaceful path.

    Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents Ilham Aliyev and Serzh Sargsyan
    plan another meeting the following month to continue the constructive
    process started in November 2013.
