    SHAVARSH KOCHARYAN: STEPANAKERT SHOULD RETURN TO THE BARGAINING TABLE AT SOME POINT

    "Today the OSCE Minsk Group is the only internationals structure,
    which is fully informed of the problem, knows its genesis and closely
    cooperates with the monitoring group that follows the cease-fire
    regime. Therefore, the Minsk Group is the format with which we connect
    the hopes for progress, especially considering that it is represented
    by powers like Russia, USA and the whole Europe in the face of France,"
    Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan said in an
    interview with "Novosti Armenia."

    Does the Armenian side consider that the involvement of Stepanakert
    as a party to the talks at some point is unavoidable? "If Azerbaijan
    really wants a peaceful solution and does not use the negotiations
    to propagate its own position, it will agree that the real party to
    the conflict, Nagorno Karabakh, should sit at the bargaining table,"
    Shavarsh Kocharyan said.

    Which are the expectations of the Armenian side from the meeting of
    the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents in Saint Petersburg? According
    to the Deputy Foreign Minister, the Armenian side has always been
    constructive.

    "We anticipate results from every meeting. At least, the Maindorf
    declaration was signed. It was another step towards peaceful
    settlement," he said.

    "Our position is very20constructive, but at the same time the outcome
    of this meeting depends on the constructiveness of the Azerbaijani
    side, which constantly tries to present its everyday blackmailing
    statements and constructiveness," Shavarsh Kocharyan concluded.
