Peacekeepers in NKR could be to the point in 1994. If Russia managed to deploy its forces there it would be good, head of the International Relations Department at the Institute of the Political and Military Analysis Sergey Markedonov stated in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net. “Let me remind that the bloodshed in Abkhazia was stopped by Russian peacemakers. Should other forces be there at that time, no one knows how it could end. I have big doubts that international peacekeepers will be able to deal with the refugee flow. Do you imagine a scene when a Finnish or Swedish faces am advancing crowd of refugees? He is prohibited from firing but is incapable to stop it,” he remarked.
“For some reasons the settlement of the conflict is being bound with the return of refugees. However refugees appear as a humanitarian problem. They should be paid compensations. In general the problem of release of the regions is the hardest one. I would like to attract your attention to another fact. The Armenian side is also speaking of refugees from Azerbaijan. However from the viewpoint of formal European law there are no Armenian refugees. They left Azerbaijan before the hostilities broke off and cannot be considered refugees. That is why I am speaking of compensation,” he said.
