    Political scientist has commented on the situation in the Karabakh
    conflict in the light of Armenia's refusal to recognize updated
    Madrid principles.

    'Armenia's position voiced by Nalbandian at the meeting with OSCE
    Minsk Group co-chairs shows that the leading powers still view
    official Yerevan as a capricious and inadequate child. The OSCE Minsk
    Group co-chairs could not force Armenia continue peace talks. By
    their patience to the constantly changing position of Armenia, the
    superpowers in fact allow Yerevan protract the negotiation process
    on the Karabakh conflict settlement', political scientist Fikret
    Sadikhov said.

    'The fact that the co-chairs have not arrived in Baku within the
    framework of their visit says that they are unable to set definite
    frames of the further conduction of negotiations and provisions
    of definition of Nagorno Karabakh status within the framework of
    the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. Nothing changes: by means
    of international mediators, Armenia is trying to gain Azerbaijan's
    agreement on independent status of Nagorno Karabakh and only after
    that to make compromises and return the occupied lands', the political
    scientist said.

    'The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs have avoided visiting Baku because
    they merely have nothing to say and nothing to boast about. The Minsk
    Group has put itself into an awkward position after the current visit
    to Yerevan and Khankendi and thus fully discredited itself in the eyes
    of Azerbaijan and the world community. If it is unable to put pressure
    on aggressor Armenia, it means the co-chairs have no right to speak of
    the strengthening of military rhetoric by Azerbaijan', Sadikhov said.
