The report of the International Crisis Group on Nagorno-Karabakh is at least strange, MP from “Heritage” party Larisa Alaverdyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

According to her, the report indicates the failure of Armenia’s passive and antinational diplomacy. “Yerevan should realize the world community takes silence as a sign of agreement. It is time to refuse such tactics,” she stressed.

International Crisis Group issued a report “Armenia and Azerbaijan: Preventing War”. on the current status of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The document criticizes the Armenian side, which allegedly occupied 16% of Azerbaijan’s territory.

According to the authors of the document, the status-quo in the Karabakh conflict zone is against the interests of the Azerbaijani side. “Armenia should stop sending regular army conscripts to serve in Nagorno-Karabakh. Armenia and the de facto Nagorno-Karabakh authorities should cease supporting activities that make the status quo more intolerable for Azerbaijan and thus use of force seem a more attractive option for its leaders and public, such as settling Armenians in occupied Azerbaijani territories, renaming previously Azerbaijani majority towns and undertaking unilateral archaeological excavations,” the document says.
