Aydin Mirzazade The outcome of the meeting in Washington will impact
the activities of the OSCE Minsk Group to resolve the Karabakh
conflict.

‘It can be assumed that those meetings (between US President Barack
Obama and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and between Obama
with his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan) in Washington will
impact the activities of the OSCE Minsk Group’ said member of the
Political Council of the ruling New Azerbaijan party, A. Mirzazade,
on Monday in Baku, commenting on the upcoming meeting between US,
Turkey and Armenia within the framework of the upcoming April 12-13
international conference on the use of atomic energy.

According to the parliamentarian, it should be taken into account
that the OSCE Minsk Group presented the updated Madrid principles
to the conflict parties which the Azerbaijani side has adopted with
some reservations, while the Armenian side has moved away from the
principles it had accepted earlier.

‘All this leaves Armenia in a very desperate situation. Armenia should
put an end to his hesitations and must choose one of its existing poles
– the Armenian Diaspora, various international forces, supporting it,
the state or the international law. All this is expected to affect
the activities of the OSCE Minsk Group’, said A. Mirzazade.
