VARTAN OSKANIAN EXPRESSES HOPE THAT MILITANT STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL
BAKU ARE FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY
YEREVAN, MARCH 23, NOYAN TAPAN. Azerbaijan not only makes aggressive
statements but also violated the cease-fire, attempting to shift the
blame on Armenia. The RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian stated
this during a talk with reporters on March 23 when commenting on
the reasons for the situation having become tense on the border. He
underlined that such a line of action of Azerbaijan will not bring
good results. In response to the question "Is a war resumption
possible?", the Foreign Minister noted that this depends only on
Azerbaijan. According to him, Azerbaijan has already made such
mistakes twice. At the same time V. Oskanian expressed a hope that
the war threats made by the official Baku are for internal use only.
He said that although there are no specific agreements on bilateral
meetings at top level, the Armenian and Azeri Presidents have an
opportunity to have two meetings in the near future. According to him,
meetings between Robert Kocharian and Ilham Aliyev are likely to take
place on May 9 in Moscow, at the celebration of the 60th anniversary
of the victory in the Great Patriotic War, as well as at the summit
of the CE member states in Warsaw on May 16.
