NK Polit Scientist: Bucharest Meeting of Presidents A Turning Point

KARABAKH POLITICAL SCIENTIST: BUCHAREST MEETING OF PRESIDENTS OF
ARMENIA AND AZERBAIJAN HAS BECOME TURNING TO SOME DEGREE

Stepanakert, May 7. ArmInfo. It turned out that very time before the
meeting of Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan, when talking about a
possible progress, many people imply signing of a specific document by
them for the conflict settlement. If treat these meetings in such a
way, progress achievement is very difficult, even impossible, David
Babayan, a Karabakh political scientist, said, commenting the meetings
of Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Bucharest.

Explaining his position, D. Babayan noted incomplete format of
negotiations, first of all. “NKR party does not participate in
negotiations and the conflict resolution is impossible without
it. Moreover, achievement of an agreement is possible only after the
societies will be ready, to a certain extent, to sign any document,
which is to be preceded by rather a long and intensive work”, Babayan
said.

However, he said, the Bucharest meeting has become turning, to some
degree. “Indirect evidence of this are the statements of several
high-ranking officials from mediator-countries. For example, the
statement of Leo Platvoet, the PACE reporter for missings, refugees
and population of Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan, during the meeting
with the RA Parliament speaker Tigran Torossyan.

Platvoet noted that he supposes in his report to offer the parties to
start cooperation at the level of organizations, dealing with this
problem. This is a very important statement in fact and means that the
necessity of participation of all three parties is finally
realized. It is a cooperation component towards strengthening of
measures of trust between the societies of the parties”, Babayan
said. The second important statement, according to Babayan, was made
by Daniel Fried, the USA deputy State Secretary for Europe and
Eurasia, who emphasized that “there is a desire to see return of much
more territories to Azerbaijan and return of Azerbaijanians to their
native places”.

Changing of borders between Karabakh and Azerbaijan without
alternatives is very important for security maintenance at the
international level. After all, any aggression must be punished not to
recur with more unpredictable consequences”, D. Babayan summed up.
