Interference of peacemakers will contradict NKR's national interests

PanARMENIAN.Net - "To replace present military security system, NKR is offered ineffective Blue Helmets' mechanism, suggested by peacemakers," the Chairman of Social Council for External Policy and Security, ex-NKR Deputy Foreign Minister Masis Mailyan stated.



"Possible introduction of foreign military forces to NKR territory will sharply restrict the republic's sovereignty. Interference of peacemakers will contradict NKR's national interests.

Delegation of security responsibilities does not guarantee strengthening of security and is fraught with new threats."



Masis Mailyan reminded about Karabakh people's previous experience of communicating with "peacemakers" of soviet period, when military troops, positioned on NKR territory since 1980s, were unable to protect Armenian population of Azerbaijan from violence and pogroms. "Peacemaking operations proved to be ineffective in other conflict zones as well. Government, sending peacemakers to conflict regions, will always put their interests and security above the security of local population," the expert stressed.
