VLADIMIR KAZIMIROV, former Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, yesterday
announced that the representatives of Russia have constantly confronted
a certain counteraction by the "Western" Co-Chairs since the very first
session of the Minsk Group (June 1-5, 1992, Rome) and demanded that the
conflicting parties be proposed at least a short-term ceasefire. The
ceasefire proposal was made on July the 3rd; however it was rejected
by the Armenian party under the pressure of the West.
"It was only on July 9 that Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s representatives,
particularly, Shahen Karamanoukyan, responded that they had not
received such proposal from Rome. This was an obvious lie because the
Armenian delegation, under the leadership of Christian Ter-Stepanyan,
had participated in the meeting held in Rome. He couldn’t have failed
to provide some information or report on the results," the former
Co-Chair mentioned.
