ArmInfo. Rumours on replacement of two OSCE MG co-chairs on Karabakh
settlement are spread to exert pressure on Armenia and Azerbaijan, Head
of Hay Dat Central Office on political issues of ARF Dashnaktsutyun
Kiro Manoyan told ArmInfo.
'The point is that human interrelations are an important factor in
the Karabakh conflict settlement process in any case, and the process
will slack if two of three co-chairs are replaced (Yuri Merzliakov
will be also expectedly replaced), as the new co-chairs will have
to get acquainted with the process. In this context, somewhat early
news on replacement of co-chairs aims at putting pressure on the
conflict parties for the latter to know that they should accept the
renewed version of the Madrid principles till September when the
two co-chairs are replaced, that is, till the process slows down',
Manoyan emphasized.
According to him, he has got an impression that no party in
negotiations agrees to the Madrid principles. At the same time, none
of them wishes to express its disagreement first and expects for the
other party to do that.
To note, US Embassy in Armenia has no data as yet on possible
replacement of OSCE MG American cochairman. It is just clear that
M. Bryza on the post of U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State will
be replaced by Tina Kaidanov, however, it is yet unknown whether she
will replace him in OSCE Minsk Group.
