OSCE Minsk Group acknowledged that the only way of achieving progress
in Karabakh peace process is NKR's participation in the talks, the
director of the Armenian Center for National and International Studies
(ACNIS) Richard Giragosian told NEWS.am. The expert commented on
rumors that in Madrid Principles preamble the necessity of Karabakh
participation is outlined.
According to him, Azerbaijan could do nothing but agree with this.
"Looking at Azerbaijan's diplomacy we see it is idle, as Azerbaijan is
a champion of threat-making. However, the more it threatens with war,
the stronger laughter it induces as a result," he state, adding that
"the preamble is just a preface to a letter of minor importance."
According to Giragosian, Azerbaijan simply wanted to show that they
agree with something, that is why they agreed with preamble. The only
practical decision made in Sochi was "to drink tea or coffee or what
chair to sit on." Another crucial decision was sledging. "Nothing
was reached over other issues," Giragosian concluded.
