Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group Igor Popov, Jacques Faure and James
Warlick, Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office
Andrzej Kasprzyk, and Faure's future successor Pierre Andrieux have
released an official report on monitoring of the Armenian-Azerbaijani
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone. The Minsk Group delegation visited
Armenia and Azerbaijan on May 16-19.
The co-chairs said that they had focused on studying the situation in
Nagorno-Karabakh and the Kalbajar and Lachin districts. They noted
an improvement of infrastructure in the area and no change of the
population in the past years.
The OSCE officials discussed the status of the Sarsang impounded body.
U.S. Co-Chair James Warlick recommended Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh
to use the water resources of the Sarsang together.
The Minsk Group as a whole approves the idea.
The co-chairs concluded their visit to the region yesterday by crossing
the contact line near Terter. They expressed regret that the cease-fire
regime was being violated and locals being killed. The officials
called for development of a mechanism to investigate the violations.
They met functionaries of Yerevan and Baku, Nagorno-Karabakh and
Kalbajar, as well as representatives of the Azerbaijani community
of Nagorno-Karabakh in Baku. The diplomats discussed elements of the
peace process and emphasized that the declarations of the presidents
co-chairing the structure in 2009-2013 were the basis for a settlement
of the conflict.
The writer Anar said that neither Azerbaijan nor Armenia wanted
new violence or war. He expressed regret that the societies of both
countries could not affect the negotiation process and decisions could
only be made by politicians. Anar predicts that life will improve
when Armenian legislators start being friends with their neighbours
and stop the occupation of foreign territories. The writer emphasized
that Azerbaijan had not occupied Armenian land and will not give up
its own. He reminded that Azerbaijani culture, literature and music
were present in Nagorno-Karabakh and, in his opinion, the territory
will be taken back some day.
