Yerevan has not accepted Moscow’s proposals on the settlement of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, which, seriously concerns Russia’s
Minister of Foreign Affairs (Russia being an OSCE Minsk Group co-chair
country). This issue will be at the core of the upcoming Armenia-Russia
talks, said Azerbaijan’s Political Innovation and Technology Center
President Mubariz Ahmetoglu in an interview with Novosti Azerbaijan.
As previously reported, Russia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergey
Lavrov, will be in Armenia for an official business visit from January
13-14, where he will meet with President Serzh Sargsyan, as well as
Armenia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Edward Nalbandian.
According to Ahmetoglu, Lavrov will be bringing the latest version
of the Madrid Principles with him to Yerevan.
"If Nalbandian and Sargsyan once again deny the OSCE Minsk Group’s
proposals, then there will nothing left for Russia’s Minister of
Foreign Affairs to do than put pressure on Armenia’s leadership,
so that they will welcome the OSCE Minsk Group’s co-chairs in the
near future," said the analyst.
As previously reported, upon an invitation by Russia’s PM Vladimir
Putin, Turkey’s PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan is in Moscow today. Erdogan
had recently said that he plans to aks Moscow to stimulate the
Nagorno-Karabakh issue.
