Azerbaijan's introducing the issue of resettlement of Syrian
Armenians in the security zone around Nagorno-Karabakh in the agenda
of the meeting with the OSCE Minsk Group co- chairs is an attempt
to divert attention from the main content of the Karabakh problem,
Rouben Safrastyan, Director of the Oriental Studies Institute of the
National Academy of Sciences of Armenia, told ArmInfo.
"First of all, the matter concerns a very small number of people;
moreover, the given actions have a humanitarian nature and attaching
a political context to this issue can be qualified as Azerbaijan's
attempt to influence the peace process in order to divert attention
from its aggressive policy", the expert said.
He also stressed that one should not expect any active steps in the
peace process, as the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries and the
EU are not interested in it yet. "One should expect nothing from the
Jan 28 meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers with
the mediators in Paris", he said.
To note, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov said that at
the Jan 28 meeting in Paris he will raise the issue of resettlement
of Syrian Armenians in the security zone around Nagorno-Karabakh.
