\/>\ndiplomat Vladimir Kazimirov.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --><!-- wp:tadv\/classic-paragraph -->May 2019 marked a quarter century since the cease-fire agreement signed by Azerbaijan on one hand, and Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh on the other. Although frequently violated since, it put an end to the large-scale bloodshed that continued for more than two years after all three declared independence in 1991.<\/p>\n<p>Many cease-fires were reached between 1991 and 1994, but none held for long. The May 1994 cease-fire initially seemed destined to follow suit, as political issues \u2013 most centrally the official status of Nagorno Karabakh \u2013 remained unresolved.\u00a0 Azerbaijan continues to insist on controlling all territories that were part of Soviet Azerbaijan. The Armenian sides contend this is impossible without resumed ethnic cleansing, in effect a genocide of Karabakh\u2019s Armenian population.<\/p>\n<p>These disagreements remain and they were evident in May 1994 as well. However, at the time it also became apparent for the Azerbaijani leadership that not only were they unable to gain any substantial territories by force, but also risked losing more.<\/p>\n<p>After beating back the winter 1993-94 offensive by Azerbaijan, Armenians went on the offensive in the spring. Throughout April 1994, Armenian forces advanced towards the towns of Terter and Barda, putting the Azerbaijani leadership under renewed pressure. On May 2, then Azerbaijan\u2019s number two, Milli Majlis head Rasul Guliyev arrived in Barda and visited the frontline. He later told scholar Tom de Waal that after the visit he determined that Azerbaijan\u2019s position was \u201ccritical\u201d and that a cease-fire was needed. On return to Baku, Guliyev made a report to Heydar Aliyev, who initially did not make his own position clear.<\/p>\n<p>According to Azerbaijani scholar of the war Mamed Velimamedov from May 2-5, 1994 Azerbaijani forces counter-attacked and were able to partly reverse the Armenian advance in Agdam district. But on May 7 they were pushed back again, when another Armenian attack erased those gains. Velimamedov estimated overall frontline changes between April 7 (blue line) and May 12 (red line), <a href=\"https:\/\/c.radikal.ru\/c28\/1905\/97\/6248814c44c2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">on this map<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9626 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/armenian.usc.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/6248814c44c2-1024x845.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"845\" \/>In the meantime, on May 4-5 the parliamentary assembly of the post-Soviet Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) met in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek. After debate, the Armenian and Nagorno Karabakh parliament leaders signed the assembly\u2019s protocol calling on the parties to agree to cease-fire. A similar call was made the previous February, during the CIS presidential summit. In Bishkek, the Azerbaijani deputy speaker initially refused to sign. On May 8, Russia\u2019s envoy for the talks Vladimir Kazimirov took the protocol to Baku, where it was signed by Guliyev. Notably, the signing came after Aliyev\u2019s visits to Ankara and Brussels on May 5-7 and the Armenian advance in Karabakh on May 7.<\/p>\n<p>But the Bishkek protocol was not the cease-fire agreement itself, rather it was a political call for cease-fire. The cease-fire itself was reached by the military leaders of Azerbaijan, Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh, respectively Mamedrafi Mamedov, Serzh Sargsyan and Samvel Babayan, on May 9-11, again through Kazimirov\u2019s mediation. The cease-fire formally took effect from May 12 and the three military leaders met in Moscow on May 16 to discuss the details of a peacekeeping operations and associated troop withdrawals.
