Political scientist has commented on the situation in the Karabakh
conflict in the light of Armenia's refusal to recognize updated
Madrid principles.
'Armenia's position voiced by Nalbandian at the meeting with OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairs shows that the leading powers still view
official Yerevan as a capricious and inadequate child. The OSCE Minsk
Group co-chairs could not force Armenia continue peace talks. By
their patience to the constantly changing position of Armenia, the
superpowers in fact allow Yerevan protract the negotiation process
on the Karabakh conflict settlement', political scientist Fikret
Sadikhov said.
'The fact that the co-chairs have not arrived in Baku within the
framework of their visit says that they are unable to set definite
frames of the further conduction of negotiations and provisions
of definition of Nagorno Karabakh status within the framework of
the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. Nothing changes: by means
of international mediators, Armenia is trying to gain Azerbaijan's
agreement on independent status of Nagorno Karabakh and only after
that to make compromises and return the occupied lands', the political
scientist said.
'The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs have avoided visiting Baku because
they merely have nothing to say and nothing to boast about. The Minsk
Group has put itself into an awkward position after the current visit
to Yerevan and Khankendi and thus fully discredited itself in the eyes
of Azerbaijan and the world community. If it is unable to put pressure
on aggressor Armenia, it means the co-chairs have no right to speak of
the strengthening of military rhetoric by Azerbaijan', Sadikhov said.
