Most of the points in the Madrid Principles are unacceptable to
Armenia, which accounts for rarer meetings between the Armenian and
Azerbaijani Presidents in 2010, Chairman of the European Integration
NGO Karen Bekaryan told journalists on June 17. According to him,
the Armenian side considers the principles a working paper, not an
"axis of the talks."
A Sargsyan-Medvedev-Aliyev meeting to be held in St. Petersburg is
indicative of the fact all the parties, including the international
community, realize Turkey has nothing to do in the Karabakh peace
process.
"Personally, when I learnt a trilateral meeting was planned, it was
clear to me Turkey had no chance in all aspects, which was clear to
Azerbaijan as well," Bekaryan said.
According to him, the meeting will differ from the previous ones, as
the Armenian side will present the status of Karabakh as a priority
in the peace process. "The recent statements by the RA President
and Foreign Ministers have been clear enough. They have repeatedly
stated Nagorno-Karabakh's status is the most important for Armenia,"
the expert said. He added he does not expect anything from the meeting,
as Karabakh is not involved in the talks.
