Armenia –

Political analyst Suren Sargsyan urges the Armenian authorities to invite the OSCE Minsk Group mediators to Yerevan.

"France and the U.S. on the one hand and Russia on the other hand trade blames for the "demise" of the Minsk Group. Armenia, unlike Azerbaijan, insists that the Minsk Group is needed,’ he wrote on Facebook.

“Now the question is: Why doesn't Armenia invite the Minsk Group co-chairs to Yerevan? Incidentally, this will be the only channel of communication between the West and Russia. Let them visit the region and let Aliyev not receive them. Many things will become clear to everyone,” the analyst said.

His comments came after the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs said the U.S. Minsk Group co-chair spoke with her counterparts today to discuss the future of Nagorno-Karabakh. Also, the Bureau said the Russian co-chair did not accept Washington’s invitation to joint it.

Earlier on Friday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov claimed that the Minsk Group “has wound down its activities” on the initiative of the United States and France.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
