/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A new situation emerged in Karabakh the process
lately, according to David Shahnazaryan, representatives of the
Armenian National Congress.

"It’s rather strange that the Armenian authorities somehow uphold
other negotiation formats while Azerbaijan behaves quite the opposite
way. Armenia and Azerbaijan seem to have swapped places. Baku is not in
a hurry to announce that Yerevan rejected revised Madrid Principles,"
Mr. Shahnazaryan told reporters on Wednesday.

At that, he emphasized that the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict depends on Russia and the United States.

Commenting on the Armenian-Turkish rapprochement, he said it’s a
process where can’t be winners, losses are inevitable and termination
impossible.

Dwelling on Turkish Prime Minister’s recent statement on deportation
of 100 thousand illegal Armenian migrants, Mr. Shahnazaryan said it
was a well-thought-out move aimed to prevent Armenia from ratifying
the protocols on normalization of relations first.

Asked about international political situation he said Armenia is
in crisis.
