Excellent questions bayhye jan. However it is premature to talk about a peace settlement while the war of attrition continues. Lori claims trust is not a factor for settlement. However, trust is a huge factor. At the very least, Azerbaijan must agree to the withdrawal of snipers and the installation of cease fire monitoring equipment all along the line of contact. They must also officially retract their claims to Yerevan and Syunik. The OSCE should also name and condemn any side that violates the cease fire. Perhaps you might say they will not agree to this because that would solidify the status quo which does not benefit them. Well then in that case, if shots are being fired, we are in an active war and the cease fire is being violated. If we are in a war, why would we even for a nano second, consider thinking about returning land?
