"I have nothing new to say about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
resolution process", - said the RA Minister of Foreign Affairs Vardan
Oskanyan today. What was the aim of the meeting of Vardan Oskanyan
with the Minsk Group Co-Chairmen? "The Co-Chairmen simply considered
that a rather long time has passed since we met last.
That was why they initiated out meeting",- answered Vardan Oskanyan
to the question of A1+.
Today Vardan Oskanyan repeated what he said in Brussels: "We are
waiting for steps of mutual compromise and settlement from the
Azerbaijani part.
Their ongoing extremist appeals will not result in progressive
settlement of the process. If Azerbaijan shows courageous policy aimed
at mutual compromise, then the document on the table is sufficient
for registering essential progress on the resolution".
Today the Azerbaijani part has already managed to reflect on the
statement of Vardan Oskanyan and responded that his expectations
were in vain. What is necessary to continue the negotiations under
such circumstances? Answering to our question Vardan Oskanyan said:
"Courageous steps from the Azerbaijani part".
The Minister also ensured that the Co-Chairmen did not put pressure
on any of the concerned parties in the negotiating process and such
rumors did not correspond to the reality.
"The Co-Chairmen are not in the habit of pressing.
They are mediators; they have their means of convincing. Sometimes
they manage to do that, sometimes they do not, but they act within
the frames of logic,-said Mr Oskanyan,-the farther the positions of
the parties are from extreme and are closer to logic, the better the
Co-Chairmen respond to those approaches. The closer your suggestion
is to the logic, the better the approaches of Co-Chairs concede with
your position. We do not complain of the Co-Chairs in this regard".
The Foreign Minister also informed that no changes were anticipating in
the Minsk Group. It concerns the American Co-Chair Matthew Bryza who
recently married Zeno Barani. She is of Turkish origin and is leading
the Azerbaijani lobby in the US and is famous for her anti-Armenian
position.
