Aliyev blackmails mediators: Masis Mayilyan
18:06 / 11/21/2009Interview of NKR Foreign and Security Policy Council
Chairman Masis Mayilyan to NEWS.am¦
Mr. Mayilyan, what is your opinion on Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev's statement that if tomorrow's meeting with RA President Serzh
Sargsyan in Munich yields no result, Azerbaijan will break off the
talks and prefer military showdown.
The attempt of Azerbaijani President to exert pressure on Armenian
side and blackmail international mediators is evident. Such line of
conduct by Azeris can be induced by the fact that impending meeting of
Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents in Munich will be the first after
the Protocols' signing in Zurich. The tendency itself to
Yerevan-Ankara normalization apart from NKR peace process triggers
serious concerns in Baku that entails this kind of statements.
Don't you think such statements depreciate the Presidents' Munich meeting?
Armenia should keep on participating in the talks to achieve the
restoration of full-fledged trilateral format, as well as the
elaboration and adoption of realistic principles on the conflict
resolution. If Azerbaijani authorities dislike the consultations'
results, Azerbaijan should walk out of the process and claim the
responsibility for the consequences of the made decision.
What expectations do you have from Aliyev-Sargsyan tomorrow's meeting?
I don't have particular expectations, however I reckon it is always
good to exchange views on different levels. It's better to do it with
the participation of conflicting parties, meanwhile showing good will.
