ARAM SARKISIAN: "ARMENIA HAS LOST THE INFORMATION WAR WITH AZERBAIJAN"

"The reason why the Rambouillet negotiations on the settlement of
the Nagorno Garabagh conflict failed to reach any agreement is that
Armenia has lost the information war with Azerbaijan," Leader of
Armenia Democratic Party, member of Justice Opposition alliance Aram
Sarkisian told.
He said that despite of compromises offered by Armenia, Azerbaijani
President Ilham Aliyev refused to recognize the independence of
Nagorno Garabagh.
"Armenia's stance was that if Azerbaijan recognizes the independence
of Nagorno Garabagh, Yerevan will be ready to withdraw its troops
from the territories and ensure sending the refugees back to their
native homes, and station peacekeepers in Nagorno Garabagh. However,
unlike the Ki West talks, Armenia has lost initiative regarding the
Garabagh issue. Though Azerbaijan was ready to informally recognize
Garabagh's independence during the Ki West negotiations, there is
not such likelihood now," Sarkisian said.
Referring to the current situation in Azerbaijan, Sarkisian said
that the situation has sharply changed to better in the country. "It
is not only because of oil revenues but also careful foreign policy
pursued in the country. Armenia's policy of compromises is related
to this factor. It should be born in mind that Azerbaijan and Armenia
remarkably depend on foreign political forces," the party leader said.
