nsnbc : The armed conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh lingers on after military clashes erupted Saturday. Both sides accused each other of breaking the 1994 truce along the front line. The Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) described the renewed war as painful and disturbing. Russian President Vladimir Putin called on all parties to immediately end hostilities. The Vice President of Russia’s Lower House of Parliament (Duma), Sergei Zhelenyah denounced a “third force” behind the clashes while Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Moscow accuses no one, but notes attempts to frustrate efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group.

Clashes between Armenian and Azeri forces have claimed the lives of an estimated 20 persons on each side so far. The exact number of casualties is currently difficult to tell due to widespread disarray and disorganization on both sides, and probably, because both governments attempt to keep the official numbers as low as possible as long as the conflict rages to keep up moral.

Sergey Lebedev the Chairman of the CIS Executive Committee addressed the press on Monday stressing that he finds the deteriorating situation and clashes in Nagorno Karabakh “deeply painful and greatly concerning for all countries”. Lebedev added:

“We all in the CIS, as friends and partners of Azerbaijan and Armenia, sincerely hope that both sides will demonstrate will and reason, stop bloodshed and find a possibility of soonest resumption of peaceful dialogue in the interests of the peoples of both countries. … The presidents and foreign ministers of several CIS member countries have already addressed their Azerbaijani and Armenian partners urging them to take immediate steps to stop military actions and resume search for ways of peaceful resolution of the conflict. … Young Azerbaijanis and Armenians are dying, thousands of people are suffering, enormous damage is being inflicted on both sides, the atmosphere of hostility and hatred is intensifying – all this considerably undermines the basis for returning to peace.”

Armenia and Azerbaijan went to war over the predominantly ethnic Armenian enclave Nagorno-Karabakh in the late 1980s as the collapse of the Soviet Union resulted in the redrawing of regional maps. In 1991-1994, the confrontation spilled over into large-scale military action for control over the enclave and some adjacent territories. Thousands left their homes on both sides in a conflict that killed 30,000. A truce was called between Armenia and the Nagorno-Karabakh republic on one side and Azerbaijan on the other in May 1994.

Talks about Nagorno Karabak have been held under the auspices of the OSCE on the basis of the so-called Madrid Principle agreed upon in 2007 in the Spanish capital Madrid and finalize in the Helsinki Act. The guiding principles are refraining from the use of force, territorial integrity and the right to self-determination. It is the dichotomy between territorial integrity and the right to self-determination that has kept the conflict lingering on. Both are valid principles in international law. In many if not most cases similar to the conflict over Nagorno Karabakh, these two principles are, however, mutually exclusive.

Russian President Vladimir Putin responded to the renewed violence on Saturday, calling on both parties to immediately cease-fire and to show restraint, said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Saturday. The Azerbaijani Defense Minister denounced that over the last 24 hours, the Armenian Armed Forces breached the ceasefire 127 times with large-caliber weapons, mortars, rocket-propelled grenades and artillery. Meanwhile, Armenian authorities circulated a statement warning about the intense offensive actions that started on Friday night by Azerbaijani troops in the Line of Contact.

A spokesman for Defense Ministery of the self-proclaimed, not internationally recognized Nagorno-Karabakh, David Babaián, said that such an escalation of violence was not seen since 1994. He added that people living in the bordering area with Azerbaijan are fleeing their homes. The Russian Ministry of Defense told the press that Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu had discussed the situation in a phone conversation with his counterparts from Armenia Seirán Oganián and Azerbaijan Zakir Gasanov. The conversation focused reportedly on the need to take urgent measures to stop hostilities.

A Third Force?

The Vice President of Russia’s Lower House of Parliament (Duma), Sergei Zheleznyak, denounced “a third force” as being is behind the armed clashes. Zheleznyak described the clashes as provocations that have already cost dozens of deaths for the benefit of external elements that don’t have the best interest of Russia or the region at heart. Zheleznyak added that these were the same warmongering people who also fuel conflict in the Middle East, central Asia and the Caucasus, people who are unhappy with the successes Moscow has achieved along with its allies in Syria in the struggle against international terrorism.

Zheleznyak stressed that those people were interested in the rapid intensification of the protracted conflict over Nagorno Karabakh while neither Armenia nor Azerbaijan need a worsening of the clashes or benefit from them. The Russian legislator added that information about this presence of a “third force” was now being analyzed and is about to be leaked. Zheleznyak suggested to pay attention to the fact that at night in the mountains you only need to have a small, well-trained group that, aware of the balance of power, stirs up reciprocal fire in “response”. He added that this is the reason why Russian President Putin and the government structures in Moscow urge Armenia and Azerbaidzhan to cease-fire as soon as possible and don’t let those forces lead them into their insidious game.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, on the other hand, said on Monday that Russia is not accusing external forces, including Turkey. Lavrov added however, that Moscow notes attempts to frustrate efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs on Nagorno-Karabakh.
