Karabakh War Hero: Vienna meetings showed that Baku has got away with aggression against Stepanakert

 The Vienna meetings have confirmed that Azerbaijan has got away with its April aggression against Nagorno Karabakh and the seizure of the Armenian territories, Zhirayr Sefilyan, Commander of the Shushi Separate Battalion, Karabakh War Hero, says in a Facebook post.  

"This means that Azerbaijan will continue arming and implementing its program of destroying Armenians through creeping war. The most dangerous step the Armenian people can make at the given stage is to let their guard down under influence of empty promises of the external forces," Sefilyan says. In his words, he has already observed such tendency. 
"It is very dangerous for us to return the army to its usual regime, as it may be followed by the next and even tougher attack by the enemy. We have no additional territories and blood to sacrifice to the next Vienna meetings. Instead, we need to prepare for a new Sardarapat," Sefilyan said.  President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan and President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev met in Vienna on May 16 to advance a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The meeting was initiated by the OSCE MG co-chair countries foreign ministers. 

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov, Secretary of State of the United States of America John Kerry, and State Secretary for European Affairs of France Harlem Desir, representing the co-chair countries of the OSCE Minsk Group, reiterated that there can be no military solution to the conflict.  The Co-Chairs insisted on the importance of respecting the 1994 and 1995 ceasefire agreements. 
T

he Presidents reiterated their commitment to the ceasefire and the peaceful settlement of the conflict. To reduce the risk of further violence, they agreed to finalize in the shortest possible time an OSCE investigative mechanism. The Presidents also agreed to the expansion of the existing Office of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson in Office.  Finally, they agreed to continue the exchange of data on missing persons under the auspices of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to which the Presidents committed during the Paris summit of October 2014.

The Presidents agreed on a next round of talks, to be held in June at a place to be mutually agreed, with an aim to resuming negotiations on a comprehensive settlement.
