Those making such calls are primarily taking responsibility for keeping the parties away from military operations: Abrahamyan

The mediating countries must deeply understand that behind such phrases and terminology lies their signature, and accordingly, their honor and dignity. This was stated on his Facebook page by Tigran Abrahamyan, the head of the 'Henaket' analytical center and former advisor to the President of Artsakh on security issues, in relation to the response of the OSCE Minsk Group to Azerbaijan's recent attacks in Tavush.

“After various formats of meetings, the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group almost always ‘insert’ the phrase ‘the peoples must be prepared for peace, not for war’ somewhere in their joint statement. Those making such calls are primarily taking responsibility for keeping the parties away from military operations, and second, in the event of such a situation arising, making effective efforts to bring the parties (in this case Azerbaijan) back to the negotiating table,” wrote Abrahamyan. “The only notable statement from the mediators in recent announcements is their regret regarding the inability to make a regional visit due to the pandemic.”
