The major topic of the negotiations of OSCE Chairperson-in-Office, Serbian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ivica Dacic in Armenia and Azerbaijan is creation of mechanisms to inquire into incidents and monitor the line of contact of the NKR and Azerbaijan armed forces, says Sergey Minasyan, Deputy Head of the Caucasus Institute told a new conference on Tuesday.
"Unfortunately, Azerbaijan has no political will for it, as mechanisms to inquire into the incidents on the line of contact will make Azerbaijan controllable," the politician said.
The expert explains the reduced tension on the line of contact with the preparations for the Summer Olympic Games Baku launched after April 24. This means that Azerbaijan artificially escalates the tension in the conflict zone, Minasayn said and called on the mediators to take that circumstance into account. There are no guarantees that after the Olympic Games, the situation on the line of contact will not grow tense again, he said.
Ivica Dacic is on a trip to the South Caucasus region. He will visit Armenia on June 3.
