"Azerbaijan and Russia got what they wanted out of yesterday's trilateral meeting in Moscow, while Armenia's prime minister only stated that the two issues raised by him – the status of Artsakh and the exchange of war prisoners – remained unsolved. Those issues supposedly weren't even discussed seriously," Tigran Abrahamyan, the head of 'Henaket' analytical center wrote on Facebook.

 

In Abrahamyan's words, it became clear from the press statements of the three leaders that regional economic issues were at the center of the talks, including unblocking communications, issues of infrastructure and international transportations, while the regional security and mechanism to ensure it were touched upon in generic formulations.  

 

"This comes despite Pashinyan's statement that he had put forward the issue of war prisoners and the return of the bodies of the killed as a precondition to be considered before substantive discussions on unblocking communications," Abrahamyan added.
