The international community represented by the OSCE Minsk Group has too late come to realize the fact that the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process has been militarized and threatens to fail. Therefore, it has passed from declarations to practical steps and ordered investigation into incidents on the line of contact, Styepa Safaryan, Chairman of the Heritage parliamentary faction, told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

"Now, too late, the international community has come to realize it cannot go on like this and concrete steps need to be made. Otherwise, the negotiation process will fail and military actions are inevitable," the MP said.
He doubts any impartial investigation can be conducted under the OSCE Minsk Group`s auspices.

"If a really impartial investigation is conducted, it is enough for Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev to be brought before international tribunal. But no impartial investigation will be conducted, and the process will end in regular declarative statements by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs," Safaryan said. He pointed out that the OSCE is able to conduct an impartial investigation if it really wants to - the organization has all the necessary mechanisms and experience.

The OSCE MG issued a statement instructing Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Ambassador Andrzej Kasprzyk to get ready for investigations into incidents on the line of contact between the Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan armed forces. With this end in view, the OSCE MG Co-Chairs are to arrive in the region, official Yerevan welcomed the initiative.
