    VLADIMIR KAZIMIROV: THE CONTINUOUS TALKS ON KARABAKH WILL WORK PROPERLY ONLY AFTER AN ABSOLUTE RULING OUT OF THE BATTLE ACTIONS

    The continuous talks on Karabakh will work properly only after an
    absolute ruling out of the battle actions, the former co-chair of
    the OSCE MG, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Diplomats' Association,
    Vladimir Kazimirov, wrote in the article published in Nezavisimaya
    gazeta on 28 April.

    He said that peace for Nagornyy Karabakh seriously guaranteed by
    Azerbaijan as well as by the superpowers would change positions of the
    Armenians, and they would be forced to gradually leave the occupied
    territories. But Baku, allegedly striving to resolving of the conflict
    as soon as possible, still goes on doing everything visa versa -
    despite the declared interests, it prolongs the status-quo, he said.

    The diplomate also thinks that unwillingness to recognize Nagornyy
    Karabakh as a party to the conflict and a participant in the talks
    is another obstacle in the talks. "Without participation of Nagornyy
    Karabakh in the talks the talks cannot enter final straight, as its
    status is the main controversial problem of the conflict.

    This problem may be resolved only on peaceful and truly democratic
    basis", - Kazimirov said.

    He also added that the reason of criticizing of Azerbaijani authorities
    is Baku's militaristic rhetoric, its refusal to make an agreement on
    non-use of force, numerous incidents at the line of contact and other
    demonstrations of the outrage, force and crass policy. "The call of
    the current leadership of Azerbaijan is

    "The war is not finished, only its first stage has finished", -
    he said.

    The Russian diplomat thinks that there are another three reasons for
    criticizing Baku, First, the new war around Karabakh is dangerous
    for the both peoples - Armenian and Azerbaijani, as well as their
    neighbors and Russia.

    Secondly, fulfillment of the agreements and other arrangements
    between the parties to the conflict is very much important, as for
    the young states this is a measure of reliability as partners. The
    list of non-fulfillment of peaceful initiatives is not in favor of
    Azerbaijan: disruption of the four resolutions of the UN Security
    Council, four ceasefires, more than 20 proposals by the intermediaries
    (Armenians -four), refusal of troop mounting and ignoring of agreements
    on ceasefire regime enhancing.

    'The third reason is from the sphere of morality - the propaganda
    is vicious and even false. Baku presents occupation as number one
    problem. But if so, it is high time to understand the reason of its
    appearance, but not explain it by aggression of the Armenians, but
    not by obvious miscalculation made by Abulfaz Elchibey and Heydar
    Aliyev which counted on force. The propaganda of the Armenians also
    has mistakes. But the Armenian leadership is neater and avoids doubtful
    arguments. As for Baku, here high rank officials present unbelievable
    arguments: allegedly about occupation of 20% of territories, more than
    1 million refugees, etc. I remember the ethics as well: Azerbaijan's
    foreign minister asked me to pass to Armenians his draft document as
    my own one", - Kazimirov concluded.
