Certain disappointment is seen in the statement of Azerbaijan’s
foreign minister, that can testify unsuccessful endeavors of the
Azeri diplomacy to organize a comprehensive isolation of Armenia
and provoke a powerful political and diplomatic pressing on Yerevan,
told to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter Andrey Areshev, political scientist
and a member of the Strategic Culture foundation.
According to him, Armenian-Turkish reconciliation and unambiguous
insinuations, that relations between Ankara and Yerevan are not
tightly linked to the Nagorno Karabakh settlement, have apparently
highlighted new trends, which Azerbaijan hasn’t expected to face.
"Attempts to involve in Nagorno Karabakh settlement the European
organizations, UN and recently Russia under certain conditions were
connected with this. The wish "to see a note of constructiveness from
Armenian part" seem at least strange against the radical position of
the official Baku.
So, if there is somebody to blame, it is yourself in the first
place. Nagorno Karabakh is the same disintegration product of the
Soviet Union, as Azerbaijan, Abkhazia or Georgia.
It is time to speak seriously about compromise steps, which Azerbaijan
is ready to make, and those steps must be sound enough against the
background of what has Armenia said.
Security guarantees of the Nagorno Karabakh population cannot be
in the spotlight for negotiators, which are impossible to achieve
without regional demilitarization and stopping hostile propaganda.
However, negotiations dynamics do not inspire optimism and prompt
that the meeting of two presidents in St. Petersburg will be a mere
formality again, Mr. Areshev stressed.
Armenia’s and Azerbaijan’s presidents continue discussing questions in
St. Petersburg, which are still unsolved in the framework of peaceful
settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict , said Azerbaijan’s foreign
minister Elmar Mammadyarov.
Despite development of a new situation in the region, Armenia,
unfortunately started negatively influencing the peaceful
process. While we have achieved everything in peaceful process with
Armenia’s past administration, we have not achieved anything with
current authorities. From the day of coming to authority of a new
person in Armenia sides haven’t budged an inch," Azerbaijan’s foreign
minister Elmar Mammadyarov said yesterday.
