Kazimirov: Whatever Kocharian and Aliyev Sign, They Will Be Accused in Betrayal

PanARMENIAN.Net - Concentration of responsibility on the matter of settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict fully lies on Presidents and this is not correct, as the public opinion of both parties is not ready to the signing of any agreements now, Russian Co-Chair of the OSCE MG for settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict in 1992-1996, Ambassador Vladimir Kazimirov stated in an interview with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.



In his words, whatever the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan sign, they will be accused in betrayal. In Kazimirov's opinion, it is necessary to prepare the public opinion and the MPs role comes out here. "The Bishkek agreement on cease-fire is only a political document without any legal basis. Based on it being exactly a political document, it turns out that Azerbaijan has recognized Nagorno Karabakh as a party to conflict, as the protocol is also signed by a NK representative. However, it has no legal effect, as it is not ratified by Parliaments of the conflicting countries,", the Russian diplomat said.
