/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Peacekeepers on NKR-Azerbaijan contact line will
have their personal weapons to protect themselves from possible
attacks," OSCE MG American Co-Chair Mathew Bryza announced in
Tsahkadzor during "Euroforum". "They are to decide which countries
can act as peace-keepers. Each conflicting party has the right to
veto a peace-keeping country’s mission on contact line," he stressed.
As regards concessions by Armenia or Azerbaijan, American diplomat
noted that mediators succeeded in their efforts to subdue Baku’s
threats on resorting to military operations. "You cannot be aware of
the concessions to be made by Azerbaijan, but make no doubt that they
are less serious in comparison with those to be made by Armenia,"
he stressed.
In the meantime, the Co-Chair said that US is not going to oust Russia
from South Caucasus. "Russia will always form part of Caucasus, and
always participate in any decision concerning politics and energy
sphere," he stressed.
