The Armenian and Azeri leaders have yet to agree a final deal

"Ten years of ceasefire but not peace," says Armenia's Aravot.

Armenia failed to gain victory over Azerbaijan, the paper charges, because Azerbaijan did not specify its defeat in a legal document.

The paper runs an interview with Grigor Babayan, a combatant in the Karabakh war, who said Azerbaijan's need for a ceasefire was greater than that of Armenia, "since we were the attackers and in that sense, we had the upper hand".

"In terms of the war strategy," Babayan said, "the ceasefire was nonsense. We stopped just at the moment when we had begun to annihilate the enemy".

But Azeri newspapers did not agree.

"A ceasefire in favour of the enemy" said the opposition paper Yeni Musavat.

The Azeri independent paper Uc Noqta was equally strident.

"Azerbaijan will not wait another decade", it warned.

Diplomatic failure

According to Yeni Musavat, the Azeri authorities are at fault for failing to capitalise on the 10-year ceasefire to press for a political resolution.

"Karabakh has been completely lost in our foreign policy because there has been no policy over Karabakh at all," it alleged, "and there is still no policy."

Armenia's Aravot also pondered the continuing failure to tackle the impasse.

"Do we really need peace today?" the paper asked. "Judging from the public mood both in Armenia and Azerbaijan, the answer is 'no'.

The Armenian authorities had many more pressing concerns, the paper suggested, and "the Karabakh issue ranks in 10th place in the political life of Armenia".

Armenia's Ayots Ashkar said the ceasefire also seemed to have given the world's superpowers the opportunity to kick the conflict into the long grass.

"In a sense," it said, "the greatest achievement of these past years is that the US, which was always in a hurry to settle the conflict, has become slow and closer to Russia's position, which is in no hurry at all."

Some Azeri newspapers argued that the ceasefire had gained Azerbaijan political credit on the international stage.

"Azerbaijan turned into a leading state in the Caucasus during the ceasefire", said the pro-government Yeni Azarbaycan.

The independent Palitra said the ceasefire was "a necessary step" which "gave Azerbaijan the opportunity to raise the Karabakh problem to the international level".

"It also gave us the opportunity to find Azerbaijan's supporters among international organisations and foreign states," the paper said, "and an excellent chance to present Azerbaijan as a peace-loving state."
