/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Appearance in NKR of any armed forces, even under
flags of authoritative international organizations will immediately
result in rapid cut of our sovereignty. The circumstance that NKR’s
sovereignty has not yet received recognition by the international
community and we are not represented in the above-mentioned structures,
may lead to a situation that our country will not be able to hold
any tools guaranteed by the international law to exert pressure on
those forces," NKR Deputy Foreign Minister Masis Mailyan thinks. He
said, in these conditions possible engagement of peacekeeping forces
will radically contradict the national interests of Artsakh. "We
cannot limit our state sovereignty without getting its universal
international legal recognition. Besides, it is well known fact that
the cease-fire between Azerbaijan and NKR lasts only thanks to the
existing military-political balance of powers, where territories,
which were liberated by our army during the war imposed by Azerbaijan
on us, perform strategic function," he stressed. Masis Mailyan is sure
that any hasty withdrawal from the existing realities, which is not
guaranteed by a number of previously ratified international agreements,
will result in immediate imbalance of the above-mentioned powers
and will provoke resumption of military actions with catastrophic
consequences for the whole region. "The countries and organizations,
which declare their interests in keeping peace and stability in
the region, must support the strategic balance. They must soberly
appreciate the whole complexity and fragility of the situation,
undertake and insist on such moves, which will certainly assist
the process of strengthening the cease-fire, systematic support of
keeping the regional stability and establishing an atmosphere of
tolerance. In this case the necessity of engaging peacekeeping forces
will lose any sense," the NKR Deputy Foreign Minister underscored,
