Supporting the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic means contributing to
the final establishment of peace in the South Caucasus, French
parliamentarians, members of the France-Karabakh friendship group
say in an article published in Le Monde.
The MPs say that soon it will be 20 years since the ceasefire
agreement was signed. There has appeared a new state between Armenia
and Azerbaijan. The authors of the article emphasize that 20 years is a
whole generation of Karabakh and Azeri people who should have lived in
peace and whose indisputable rights should have been recognized, but,
unfortunately, they are forced to live in instability because there
is no peace though the war is over. Due to the lack of a document
on mutual recognition and elementary direct dialogue between the
conflicting parties, Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh are deprived
of the opportunity to develop naturally and peacefully. The French
parliamentarians stress the need to bring about peace, which first of
all means that the real facts should be recognized and a transparent
dialogue should be started in order to correct the previous mistakes.
The authors call for pragmatism because they are convinced that
neither threats nor military actions will make Nagorno-Karabakh to
return to the "lap" of Azerbaijan.
They also point out that over the past 20 years provocations have
occurred on the Line of Contact almost every month, resulting in
new deaths in Karabakh and estranging the parties from peaceful
co-existence. The French parliamentarians stress that to recognize
the NKR does not mean to become the enemy of Azerbaijan. They also
think that it is a destructive approach to declare those visiting
Artsakh as "personae non gratae" in Azerbaijan.
The authors also stress the need to set up a council to investigate
the developments in Sumgait, Baku, Kirovabad and Maragha and to
punish the culprits. They hope that their call will find an echo in
the civil layers of Azerbaijan and that the new forces will be able
to give up hatred and enmity and to start a dialogue. At that time,
the France-Karabakh friendship group will be ready to provide its
support, the article says.
