MEETING IN MINSK WILL NOT BE A PROGRESS
Lragir, Armenia
Nov 27 2006
The meeting of Kocharyan and Aliyev in Minsk in the framework of the
CIS summit on November 28 and 29 will not make an essential progress
towards the settlement of the conflict, says Vahagn Khachatryan, one
of the initiators of the Alternative Political Initiative. On November
27 he stated at the Friday Club that "today’s government is carrying on
with a policy that there will be no settlement of the Karabakh issue."
"Although there is information that the Azerbaijani side should
express certain views connected with the referendum, accept the
timing of holding a referendum, but at any rate I believe that no
important decisions will be made during the meeting in Minsk, I
cannot see willingness, at least on behalf of the Armenian party,"
Vahagn Khachatryan says.
He also mentions that Aliyev’s militaristic statement preceding the
meeting in Minsk shows that Azerbaijan’s stance is not flexible either,
and Vahagn Khachatryan says it confirms that there is no possibility
of progress.
