Meeting in Almaty, Karabakh on the agenda: OSCE reps signal ‘Azerbaijan’s unconstructive position’

By Naira Hayrumyan
ArmeniaNow correspondent
The OSCE Ministerial meeting in Almaty, Kazakhstan, late last week had been presented in previews as a decisive one for the Karabakh settlement. It had been assumed that the Armenian and Azerbaijani sides would come to terms and possibly come close to drafting a framework document. Western diplomats even suggested “keeping the fingers crossed” to avoid “the evil eye.”

Apparently, someone, after all, has spoilt it with his “evil eye”.

it doesn't make sense to give up any land without gaining anything in return, then why did so many people fight to create the buffer zone? if strategic lands are given to Azr then they will have the terrain advantage and after that they will NEVER agree for a free Artshakh, they will eye zangezour too, who can trust those who committed such massacres... whats the point of even discussing this, i'm sure everyone knows Armenians are not stupid and they will use their defensive advantage to secure Artsakh, after all thats why there was war in NKR, because of AZR policies to drive out the Armenians... so now in peace time you want Armenians to return to pre-war settings and give Azr the upper hand again in cleansing Artsakh? Armenians fought against Azr and won, why would they give up the result of their success? are you crazy? it will never happen.... i think we should all prepare for the next logical step in any way we can, everything will be decided then , at least for the near future...

Hopefully these people are aware that our people have suffered with deaths of hundreds of thousands, each time we've "trusted" international organizations...so excuse me if I'm not excited about this (yet another) token gesture. Let me see threats of tarriffs on azeri gas/oil and maybe I'll take anything an odar says seriously.
