"I don’t think that the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan will
sign any memorandum or declaration, which can make grounds for the
final document adoption", – member of "Root" (Armat) NGO, political
scientist Stepan Grigoryan answered Panorama.am question. According
to Grigoryan, no development concerning Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is
expected in the nearest future because of lack of any grounds for
it. "The Karabakh problem will have no further developments until
the presidential elections in Armenia", – he’s sure.
The talks on Presidents’ level are recurrent and the forthcoming
meeting only ensures the process intermittence: "It doesn’t matter if
Armenian authorities are ready to sign anything or make concessions or
not. The Azeri authorities are also not willing to compromise. Thus
I wouldn’t associate this meeting with elections both in Armenia and
Azerbaijan" – the political scientist says. "Minsk Group Co-chairs
just want to show their activity and hold the meeting purely for the
appearance’s sake" – he adds.
