PanARMENIAN.Net - The main achievement of Sochi meeting between
Armenian, Russian and Azerbaijan Presidents is that Azerbaijan failed
to change the OSCE Minsk Group format or to transfer the Nagorno
Karabakh problem settlement to other international institutions,
according to the director of the Institute of History at the RA
National Academy of Sciences.
"Talks are still in progress and no matter how assiduously Aliyev
tries to "run away" from Minsk Group, he will fail," Ashot Melkonyan
told a press conference in Yerevan.
"Azerbaijan's strive to change the MG format is explained by desire to
settle Karabakh conflict by the use of force," he said, adding that
he denies the possibility of a new war, as Azerbaijan understands
the danger of failure and another defeat by the Armenian side.
At January 23 trilateral presidential meeting in Sochi Presidents
of Armenia and Azerbaijan stressed the need to refrain from extreme
measures, calling for continuation of approximating positions.
"Considering the importance of shifting to development of peace
agreement, Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan expressed readiness to
expedite reaching an agreement on Basic principles," Russian Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov said, adding that heads of the two stated had
requested Russia to mediate establishing of humanitarian ties between
the two countries.
