Peace to Karabakh. Russia’s Mediation in the Settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
A book focuses on Russia’s efforts to resolve the ethnopolitical conflict in Transcaucasia that had grown into a real war, especially at the most difficult stage of active and fierce hostilities, right up to the conclusion of a ceasefire agreement, in effect since 12 May 1994. The author, Vladimir Kazimirov, who was the head of Russia’s mediatory mission, Plenipotentiary Representative of the Russian President for Political Settlement of the Conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh (1992–1996), reveals the content of the mediator’s very complicated work with the conflicting parties, full of all kinds of vicissitudes, offering characterisations of the participants in that process and an assessment of their positions.
Worthy of note are the judgements of the author, a one-time participant in, and co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, on cooperation and rivalry with Western partners which sought, in the guise of conflict settlement efforts, to restrict or curtail Russia’s influence in the region.
The book incorporates the author’s articles and statements on the Karabakh conflict. The appendix contains international documents on the settlement of the conflict, as well as documents on Russia’s mediation and a timeline of Karabakh settlement.
