    Gagik Harutyunyan's interview with IA REGNUM

    The meeting of the president of Armenia Serj Sargsyan and the president
    of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliev, which will take place on January 28 in
    Zurich, does not bode any changes for the negotiation process on
    the arrangement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and this is only
    the next scheduled meeting in a row of such meetings. This was said
    by the director of "Noravank" foundation Gagik Harutyunyan in the
    interview with IA REGNUM.

    In the expert's opinion the regular meeting of the presidents of
    Armenia and Azerbaijan, which was arranged by co-Chairman states
    of OSCE Minsk group, can not be also regarded as the last one or
    summarizing or the "swan song" for this format as many analysts
    think. "I do not see any signs showing that any change of the Minsk
    group may take place", - mentioned Gagik Harutyunyan. According
    to him there are no reasons for France to leave that format. He
    mentioned that currently the interest of France in the arrangement
    of Nagorno-Karabakh increased and this corresponds to the current
    policy of that country in South Caucasus.

    It should be mentioned that recently there had been rumours spread
    around political scientists about the change of the structure of the
    OSCE Minsk group, and they did not exclude the possibility of the
    withdrawal of France from that format. And as for the quit of the US
    Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Matthew J. Bryza it was supposed
    to be connected with the personnel reshuffle in the administration
    of the new president of the United States Barak Obama.

    Let us remind you that the negotiations on the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict arrangement between the presidents of Armenia an Azerbaijan
    will take place on January 28 in Zurich. The agreement of the meeting
    was reached during the visit of OSCE Minsk group co-chairmen.
