Armenian President Serge Sarkisian will never sign an agreement
containing surrender of territories, said Azerbaijani expert and
analyst Araz Alizade in comments on the Karabakh talks, according
to DayAz agency. "Sarkisian will never do it," he said pointing that
Serge Sarkisian was at high posts in the Armed Forces of Armenia at
the times of the Karabakh war.

There are not any peace solutions to the Karabakh conflict, actually,
according to the expert. He said that the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs
had been chosen completely disadvantageously to Azerbaijan.

"Azerbaijan has to negotiate in this situation, as we face strong
pressure from outside. If the west was well-disposed to Azerbaijan,
anyway, the solution to this issue would meet opposition by Armenia.

In this situation solution’s spinning out may lead to turning the
conflict into an eternal issue."

"U.S. President Barack Obama made it clear to Turkey’s Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan that the U.S. government doesn’t want to link
settlement of the Karabakh conflict to normalisation of relations
between Armenia and Turkey. And as U.S. voices this position, then
the OSCE MG co-chairs will hold on to the same diplomacy."
