"Azerbaijan attempts to bind a new format to the Armenian side with
the opening of a central headquarters of the Azerbaijani community of
Nagorno-Karabakh region in Baku," political scientist Sergey Minasyan
said on July 7.
"Azerbaijani authorities understand that time is working against them.
The opening of the headquarters followed the statement of the Minsk
group Co-Chairs. Yet, it does not mean that tomorrow Karabakh might
become a full participant of the talks though I expect certain
changes," he added.
Sergey Minasyan thinks the opening of the headquarters is formal and
is meant for Azerbaijani public, rather than for the international
community.
The political scientist hailed the regional visit of U.S. Secretary
of State Hilary Clinton.
"It is the first time a U.S. official visited the Armenian Genocide
Memorial complex."
Regarding Turkey's annoyance over Clinton's visit, Mr. Minasyan said,
"The U.S. Secretary of State could not have paid a spontaneous visit
to Tsitsernakaberd without a preliminary agreement. America simply
tries to show Turkey that it possesses some levers of influence and
the Genocide issue is one of them."
