Peacekeepers will not be able to provide peaceful co-existence between Armenian and Azeri nations

PanARMENIAN.Net - Peacekeeping forces, which are being presented by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs as a guarantee for the security of the Armenian population of Nagorno Karabakh, will not be able to provide peaceful co-existence between Azeri and Armenian nations, head of analytical center "Mitk" Eduard Abramian stated at the presentation of a brochure titled "Peacekeepers: information package". He said, re-deployment of Armenian troops from territories, which are considered as a security belt around Nagorno Karabakh, is unacceptable, since in this case it will be impossible to avoid large-scale military operations between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan.



Speaking about possible perspectives of placing peacekeeping troops on the above-mentioned territories, co-author of the brochure Aram Palian presented details of the peacekeeping operations in Sudan, Rwanda, Kosovo, Iraq and other hot spots of the planet. He informed that actually everywhere, where exists an international peacekeeping contingent, murders, humiliations and drug trade have acquired a mass character. Commenting on opinions of a number of Armenian politicians on possible deployment of peacekeeping troops in some regions of Nagorno Karabakh, Palian stated that probably the Armenian government has undertaken an obligation, which obstacles the rapid denial from similar perspectives. "As you know, Armenia actively participates in peacekeeping processes, probably this very fact does not allow the leaders of the country to refuse from "services" of peacekeepers in the Karabakh conflict settlement," he concluded.



In his part another co-author of the brochure Karen Vardanesyan also stressed the unacceptability of deploying peacekeepers in the conflict zone. As an argument he cited one of the recent UN reports on activities of peacekeepers in various corners of the planet. According to that document, today the major part of peacekeeping operations is doomed to failure.
