While Georgia was compelled to peace only by Russia, in the case of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Moscow obtained powerful allies: Washington and Paris. Certainly, compelling to peace will happen at a diplomacy level, anticipatory and soft, only through political means. As ambassador Vladimir Kazimirov, Russia's ex-co-chair of MG OSCE writes in the "Vremya Novostey" newspaper, many things depend on the OSCE consistency.

"Peaceful operation in Nagorno Karabakh also must envisage, when necessary, the phase of compelling to peace. Peaceful resolution of the conflict is necessitated by the interests of both nations and the world community.
Irrespectively of significance of the Moscow declaration, a legally binding document is necessary for peaceful resolution of the conflict. This is required to sober up advocates of force revanche or forestalling by preventive blow. It's worth signing an Agreement on non-use of force within the resolution of the Karabakh conflict. Baku is unlikely to sign that document, but this proposal, as well as deviation from it will cool some hot heads, particularly taking into account the experience of treacherous actions of Sahakashvili," said the Russian diplomat.
