Recently ESCE co-chairman Youri Merzlyakov regarding the recent ceasefire violations and allocating peacekeeping troops in the region said, “Yes, the cases are met often, but this spring activation has always existed, if you remember the previous years. I think there is no new situation quality yet to bring this issue up in such a way”. But he noted that anyway peacekeeping actions must start after signing an agreement on peace. “Otherwise it will not be peacekeeping activities, but will be obligatory activities, which are done very rarely. I don’t think this is that case”, said Mr. Merzlyakov.
