Armenia doesn't need a mediator in the Nagorno-Karabakh process in
person of Iran, Deputy Director of the Noravank Foundation, Sevak
Sarukhanyan told a press conference today. There are three mediator
states already to bring the three sides to reach an agreement, as
well as ensure the implementation of the provisions stated in the
agreement, he said.
According to him, Iran wants to become a mediator in the
Nagorno-Karabakh settlement process, though, Armenia is not interested
in the change of the OSCE Minsk Group formant.
"Azerbaijan has preliminarily approved Iran's mediation but the
mediation is not beneficial for Armenia as Azerbaijan may propose
Turkey's mediation afterwards," the expert said, adding that "OSCE
format change proceeds from the interests of Azerbaijan, which wishes
to fail the agreements reached earlier."
According to Sarukhanyan, no serious progress should be expected in the
Nagorno-Karabakh settlement process in the upcoming period, while the
Armenian-Turkish normalization process will be frozen to some extent.
