Nagorno Karabakh problem was discussed by free sides and OSCE Minsk Group initiatives in 2009. It could be effected by external political issues that key actor Armenia wasn’t in.

Nevertheless, lately, when I spent two weeks in Bishkek, the capital city of Kyrgyzstan, I came to notice the essence of the policemans wonder.

I returned from Geneva last week and made a few notes on this peaceful place that was so full of politics….

The peaceful white mountaintops remained unscathed by the heat of debate that took place within United Nations corridors. The mountains, I thought, are indeed a fitting background. Full of frozen splendor and  high enough not to be touched by the realities on the ground. Such was another week of deliberation at the UN Human Rights Council that this time debated on Iran and Egypt . You  will find some more in the post below
