YEREVAN, DECEMBER 24, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian-Azerbaijani meetings
in 2007 ended in no result within the frameworks of the negotiations
being conducted with regard to the Karabakh problem. Introducing this
conclusion at the press conference held on December 24, political
scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazarian mentioned that irrespective of
the fact that Azerbaijan declares about its readiness for making
compromises, except a wide self-government, that country does not
propose anything to the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh.
At present, according to Levon Melik-Shahnazarian, the negotiation
stage is "frozen" to some extent, which is conditioned by
the pre-electoral period in Armenia and Azerbaijan. After the
elections, in the conviction of the political scientist, Armenia
should change its tactics in the negotiations, making it more
aggressive. "Complementarianism is advantageous for us, but the
world is changing very quickly and Armenia should reconsider its
foreign policy," Levon Melik-Shahnazarian said. In his words, saying
"complementary", one should not imagine a "peaceful, non-problamatic"
state.
