Armenia has taken no time-out, it has a distinct position promulgated
for several times by the republic’s representatives: Armenia is ready
to continue the talks around the document on the negation table,
Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan said at the June 20 joint
press-conference with Robert Simmons, Special Representative of the
NATO Secretary General for the Caucasus and Central Asia, commenting
upon Azeri Deputy Foreign Minister Araz Azimov’s statement.
But in St.Petersbourg Azerbaijan displayed some symptoms of refusal
from several agreements, V.Oskanyan said. He added that Azerbaijan
tries to make a preventive step in search of guilty persons by means
of such statements.
At the same time, he pointed out that one should wait for further steps
of official Baku and then make a conclusion about the tendencies of
toughening of the position and change of the policy. Minister Oskanyan
denied the rumors about possible change of the OSCE Minsk Group
format. As for Nagorno-Karabakh’s participation in the negotiation
process, the Minister emphasized that this issue is always on the
agenda. Karabakh’s participation doesn’t mean enlargement of the
OSCE MG format, it means returning to the main format, V.Oskanyan
pointed out.
