YEREVAN, February 10. /ARKA/. Transfer of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) conflict regulation process from OSCE Minsk Group format to any other one will bring to the death of this process, said Director of Caucasus Institute, political scientist Alexander Iskandaryan.
“Any other process or configuration will not satisfy either Armenian or Azerbaijani side”, said Iskandaryan in the press-conference on Thursday.
The policy conducted by Minsk Group is the only right, useful and necessary one.
“To expect that OSCE Minsk Group will regulate the conflict instead of us is wrong and naïve. Both Armenian and Azerbaijani sides resist the regulation of the conflict and the Minsk Group can not solve it”, he said.
There are two real tasks for the Minsk Group: support in the process of interaction between both sides and its internationalism.
Karabakh conflict started in 1988 after announcement of coming out of Nagorno- Karabakh from Azerbaijan. On December 10, 1991 referendum took place in Nagorno- Karabakh where 99.89% agreed to become independent from Azerbaijan. On May 12, 1994 military actions were terminated in the zone. About 25-30 thousand people died from each side and about 1 million had to leave their houses.
Cease-fire continues till now. From 1992 till present negotiations are conducted on peaceful regulation of the conflict in the frames of Minsk Group of OSCE, co-chairmen of which are USA, Russia and France. --0--
