What progress was achieved in the process of settlement of the
Karabakh issue during Kocharyan-Aliev meeting in Bucharest?

`The fact that Aliev compared the status of Nagorno-Karabakh with that
of the most ordinary Armenian community without considering the real
atmosphere established in Artsakh during all these years evidences
that Azeri authorities demonstrate a naive approach to the issue.
Similarly, it is naive to think that the delay of the negotiations may
be beneficial for any of the sides,’ said Seyran Avagyan, Adviser to
RA President.

As for Doctor of Philosophy Alexander Manasaryan, he turned today to
those diplomatic niceties, which the Armenian side often ignores, `We
should always emphasize that there are no territories occupied by
Armenia, there are liberated territories, which comprise part of
Nagorno-Karabakh. We forget to raise the issue of Azerbaijani-
Armenians, who are the main victims of this conflict,’ Alexander
Manasaryan said.

In Alexander Manasaryan’s opinion, the Bucharest meeting should be
generally considered from the viewpoint of the dynamics of the
negotiations process. As for the position of Azerbaijan, analysts see
some changes here.

Alexander Manasaryan considers there are no unimportant words in
diplomacy, all words here are important. Therefore, in Arthsakh issue
we should take this principle into consideration and should dispute
the questions important from the diplomatic point of view.
