Azerbaijan Parliament wants Minsk Group to report to OSCE PA

In another sign of Azerbaijan's displeasure at the work of the OSCE Minsk Process the Azerbaijan Parliament today passed a resolution instructing its delegation to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly to push for the co-Chair to appear before the assembly and report on progress in the Nagorno Karabakh peace process. The co-Chair of the Minsk Process are diplomats from France, Russia and the United States. The Minsk Process is the mechanism designated by the international community to try to find a solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Azerbaijani politicians have often criticised the work of the OSCE Minsk Process, but in recent weeks this criticism has become more vocal. Azerbaijan seems to be particularly displeased with some of the opinions expressed by the recently appointed US co-Chair of the Group, Ambassdor JamesWarlick.

So far both President Aliyev and Foreign Minister Mammadyarov, the two persons who deal with the co-chair on a regular basis, have been more cautious in their criticism, but today's resolution by the Azerbaijani Parliament is a further sign of the current difficulties.

China shows strength and resolve

A massive military parade in Beijing, a tough speech by leader Xi Jinping, and an audience led by the leaders of like minded countries, including Russia, Iran and North Korea, was how China on Wednesday, 3 September, marked the 80th anniversary of its victory over Japan in WWII. President Xi welcomed North Korea’s Kim Jong Un with a long handshake, then moved on to greet Russia’s Vladimir Putin before all three walked together to watch the parade. This event was not just a display of troops and weapons  but also of friends and allies. This was the first time all three leaders have been seen in public together. The parade was a choreographed spectacle of precision, power and patriotism.  The choir stood in perfectly even rows, the troops goose stepped past in unison and each strike of the ground echoed through the stands of 50,000 guests in Tiananmen Square.  In his address, Xi called on Chinese people to remember the victory in WWII.  He added "humanity rises and falls together" and that China is "never intimidated by bullies."
