/PanARMENIAN.Net/ It’s time for Armenian diplomacy not only to make
adequate responses to Azeri President’s military statements but also
take concrete steps in that direction, European Integration NGO Chair
Karen Bekaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

"When I heard Azeri President Ilham Aliyev’s statement prior to Munich
meeting, I was under the impression there’d be no meeting at all.

Aliyev’s statement perplexed not only the Armenian side but also
Minks Group Co-Chairs," the expert said.

Estimating bellicose statements as "Baku’s style", Bekaryan stressed
the importance of Yerevan’s forcing Azerbaijan to demonstrate respect
for Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.

According to him, Armenia can talk international community into
setting deadlines to Azerbaijan’s military statements.

"Ilham Aliyev may force Armenia to recognize Nagorno Karabakh’s
independence and not only," the expert said.
