YEREVAN, MARCH 20, NOYAN TAPAN. OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs carry out
policy of delaying the Nagorno Karabakh problem negotiations waiting
for a convenient moment to solve the problem within the framework
of superpowers’ interests. Alexander Manasian, the Chairman of the
Academy of Political Studies NGO, gave assurance at the March 20
dispute. According to him, constant delay of the negotiations process
is beneficial for Azerbaijan, as that country makes the time serve for
changing conflict’s "image" and presenting it in a variant convenient
for itself. According to the political scientist, Azerbaijan does
its best in the agitation war, while both diplomats and journalists
of Armenia are passive and often do not formulate the question and
their observations correctly.

The other participant of the dispute, political scientist Yervand
Bozoyan said that the Minsk Group Co-chairs should not be blamed
for delaying the negotiations, as the problem solution is delayed
for objective reasons. He also stated that we should not constantly
compare Armenia with Azerbaijan, as our neighboring country has oil
and gas. "If we become a strong, democratic, normal state, appreciate
person’s value, the Nagorno Karabakh problem will be solved in favor
of us," Y. Bozoyan said.
