Yerevan (Yerkir) – Commenting on the meeting of the Armenian and
Azerbaijani president in Munich on November 22, Kiro Manoyan, the
director of the ARF Bureau’s Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office,
has said that he believes the negotiations on the Karabakh settlement
would continue for at least another year without any breakthrough.
The mediators announced a progress without saying in which field,
Manoyan told a news conference on November 24. He called it inadequate
that Azeri President Aliyev’s threats of resuming war were answered
half-heartedly by the Armenian president’s spokesman. He also
criticized the Armenian authorities’ position that Aliyev’s statements
are for the Azerbaijani public only. He added that as the meeting
of the presidents was the first one following the Armenian-Turkish
protocols, Aliyev was trying to pressure Armenia, threatening with
a war.
