'It is difficult to make a unique assessment of the present stage of
negotiations. I'd refrain from any loud definitions, especially when
the assessments by the negotiating parties regarding the process are
usually subjective, ' Press Secretary of the Armenian President Viktor
Soghomonyan says.
Commenting on the statements by official Baku that the negotiations
have faced a deadlock, V. Soghomyan says: 'It is a fact that the
negotiations have not brought a result so far. The reason of such
state of affairs is clear to the Armenian party. Thus, it is the
unconstructive position of Azerbaijan, the growing illusion that
the history can be rewritten and it will be possible to go back to
the situation of 1988. The existence of Nagorny Karabakh Republic
is a fact and not a subject for bargaining. That is why, given the
unconstructive position of Azerbaijan, the President of Armenia has
repeatedly expressed hope that the negotiations will be a success.'
As regards the regular allegations by President of Azerbaijan Ilham
Aliyev against Armenia in an interview with a Kazakh newspaper,
the spokesman says: 'Unfortunately, as you can see, Mr. Aliyev's
political will and bravery were enough just for making a regular
incorrect statement. I will not comment on these statements. I just
say that there are people to care for Armenians and the future of
Armenia and Nagorny Karabakh Republic. Mr. Aliyev is better care for
his own problems.'
To recall, Ilham Aliyev stated, 'Armenia is not sincere and tries
to protract tine and deceive the mediators.' He also said that if
'Armenia stops the policy of occupation, the relations of Baku and
Yerevan will be normalized and Armenia will gain more cooperating
with Azerbaijan than from foreign charities.'
