AZERBAIJAN SENDS PROTEST NOTE TO US
Trend, Azerbaijan
Dec 15 2015
15 December 2015
Azerbaijan sent a protest note to the US in connection with a meeting
of the OSCE Minsk Group's US Co-chair James Warlick with the "foreign
minister" of the separatist regime created by Armenia in Azerbaijan's
occupied Nagorno-Karabakh region.
The protest note was handed over to the US Ambassador in Baku Robert
Cekuta by Deputy Foreign Minister Mahmud Mammadguliyev, said the
press office of the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan.
"Participation of the OSCE Minsk Group's US co-chair in the activities
aimed against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan
is completely contrary to the mandate of a co-chairing institution of
the Minsk Group, and casts shadow on its neutrality and impartiality,"
read the protest note.
"Such a step is also contrary to the official policy of the US on the
non-recognition of legitimacy of the situation created through the
use of force against Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, accompanied
with ethnic cleansing, flagrant violation of international norms and
principles," the document said.
In its note, Azerbaijan also informed the US Department of State that
creation of conditions in the US for the so-called representatives
of the separatist regime for participation in public campaigns and
other activities there, don't help to achieve progress in the talks
over the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, but rather exacerbates a process
that is already complicated.
Azerbaijan also stressed that the lack of an adequate response to
the provocative actions of Armenia leads to an increase in Yerevan's
sense of impunity.
Azerbaijan expressed hope that the US will remain committed to
implementation of internationally agreed resolutions and decisions,
as well as to non-recognition of the illegal regime created by Armenia
in the occupied Azerbaijani territories.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied
20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and
seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently
holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the UN Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.

MOSCOW WARNING: RUSSIA SLAMS TURKEY OVER "COUNTERPRODUCTIVE" STANCE ON KARABAKH
Karabakh | 15.12.15 | 10:13
Alexander Lukashevich
A senior Russian diplomat has warned Turkey against supporting
Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict following statements by
Ankara officials about their efforts to help Baku regain control over
the disputed region.
In comments on the Rossiya-24 TV channel on Monday, Aleksandr
Lukashevich, who currently serves as Russia's ambassador to the
Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's (OSCE)
headquarters in Vienna, said that Turkey's position runs counter to
international efforts to broker a Karabakh settlement.
"Such a position is not supported in the OSCE," said Lukashevich,
reminding that Russia, along with the United States and France,
carries the main burden of the mediatory mission as a Minsk Group
co-chair country. He said that while Turkey is also a member of the
Minsk Group, "the leading role [in the Karabakh peace process] is
reserved for the three co-chairs."
"Therefore, attempts to defend one of the parties to the conflict in
Nagorno-Karabakh are absolutely destructive and cannot have any
continuation," Lukashevich emphasized.
The senior Russian diplomat's remarks come amid continuing tensions in
the relations between Moscow and Ankara that followed the November 24
downing by a Turkish fighter jet of a Russian warplane near the
Syrian-Turkish border.
Late last month Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Foreign
Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu paid separate visits to Baku reassuring
Azerbaijan's leadership of Ankara's support in the Karabakh conflict
resolution. Cavusoglu, in particular, also criticized the American,
Russian and French mediators for failing to achieve a Karabakh
settlement acceptable to Azerbaijan.
The statements were taken by some analysts and politicians in Moscow
as Turkey's intention to "open a second front" against Russia in the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone.
Tensions near Nagorno-Karabakh and along the volatile
Armenian-Azerbaijani border have increased in recent days amid efforts
of the mediators to organize a fresh Armenian-Azerbaijani summit. The
Minsk Group co-chairs say such a meeting between Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev could be held
before the end of the year.
Russia is Armenia's key political and military ally and has a military
base in Armenian soil. Armenia is also a member of the Collective
Security Treaty Organization, a defense pact of six former Soviet
nations led by Russia.

Greece Defense Minister compares Turkey with Goliath
YEREVAN. - The history of the Armenian and Greek nations is written with blood and is full of victims. Minister of National Defense of Greece, Panagiotis Kammenos, said the aforementioned at a joint briefing with the Minister of Defense of Armenia, Seyran Ohanyan.
According to the Greek Minister, many joint events were held in the year marking the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and Pontic Greeks. “The people who forget their history, die,” he said.
In the words of Mr Panagiotis Kammenos, Turkey’s Armed Forces continue violating the sea borders and airspace of Greece; occupation of part of Cyprus is continuing. “But the Armed Forces of Greece are in excellent condition; the cooperation with NATO and Russia is developing,” he said.
Continuing the topic of the Armenian Genocide, the Minister noted that the story of David and Goliath teaches that the winner is not always the one who is larger and physically stronger. “The one, on whose side the truth is, is stronger,” Mr Panagiotis Kammenos said.
He also reminded that many parliaments have acknowledged the Genocide despite the resisting powerful Turkish lobby. “Armenia and Greece survived a Genocide, fought a strong adversary. When the truth is on your side, you are stronger,” the Minister said.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
To stop sniper attacks by Azeris we need to use special equipements night vision mil dot sights with a light rifle. No need for 50 cal like above. Thats in war. Our problem is that very trained soldiers/snipers are taking shots at our 17 year old young inexperience soldiers. We need to counter that. Teams of two snipers together scatter the land live off the land and move positions, report activities, hunt down take out a Azeri snipers.
Our boys need that special training, I think few of the best have it but you need the special training more of us at contact line and inside deadman zone......... crack shot move like Ninjas......Lets see then who is going to win the sniper war.B0zkurt HunterComment
