POLITICAL FORCES IN ARMENIA THINK AZERBAIJAN’S ASPIRATION TO LEAD
KARABAKH PEACE PROCESS OUTSIDE OSCE MG EVIDENT FAILURE OF AZERBAIJANI
DIPLOMACY

The involvement of other international instances into the Karabakh
peace process exceeding the OSCE Minsk Group frameworks is pregnant
with dangerous consequences, said Galust Sahakyan, Head of RPA
faction, commenting at the request of ArmInfo on the inclusion of the
Karabakh problem into the agenda of UN General Assembly on GUAM’s
initiative.

In his turn, Hrayr Karapetyan, Head of ARFD faction, believes that
the victory of the initiative cannot be considered as a defeat of the
Armenian diplomacy. "Quite on the contrary, it shows that the
Azerbaijani diplomacy failed to achieve desirable results within the
frames of OSCE MG and tries to transfer the problem to other
instances. The response of official Yerevan to such tactics of
Azerbaijan is well-known: if Azerbaijan further tries to lead the
peace process outside the OSCE MG, Baku will have to negotiate with
Stepanakert," H. Karapetyan said. He added that it is not important
what instance will discuss the problem, it is important how the
discussion will continue.
