/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s warlike
statements on the threshold of the meeting with his Armenian
counterpart Serzh Sargsyan in Munich considerably damaged Karabakh
talks, according to Andrey Areshev, deputy director general of
Strategic Culture Foundation.
"I always tell Armenians to please us with the agreement that can be
achieved," Aliyev said on the threshold of talks.
"Even international mediators permitted themselves to comment on
the Azeri leader’s eccentric ideas about the compromise," Areshev
emphasized in the article he titled "Karabakh settlement reaches a
deadlock again."
French Co-Chair Bernard Fassier called on both sides "to refrain from
harsh statements at the current stage of talks."
"Azerbaijan’s foreign policy, which is based on maximalistic demands,
is cracking and this makes Baku nervous. Although some may interpret
Aliyev’s statement as a "well turned" diplomatic move, such policy
seems rather doubtful and hampers the negotiation process," Areshev
concluded.
