The latest developments in Karabakh process arouse concerns, according
to director of Akunk analytical center Ruben Hakobyan.

"Turkey and Azerbaijan have set themselves a task to change the status
quo in the region on the basis of Madrid Principles. It’s not ruled
out that approximating positions with Ankara and Baku, Russia will
exert leverage on Armenia in the Karabakh issue," he told reporters
on May 18.

"There is an impression that Armenia was pushed out of all processes.

The OSCE Co-chairing countries can reach an agreement on Karabakh
with Turkey and Azerbaijan and then just impose it on Armenia. So,
now, the number one task for Yerevan is to isolate Turkey from the
Karabakh process," Hakobyan said.

He also stressed the necessity of NKR re-engagement in talks and
recognition of its independence by Armenia.
