IT WAS A MISTAKE IN DIPLOMACY

"The statement by the presidents of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairing
countries did not bring any fundamental change to the settlement of
the Karabakh conflict," says political scientist Yervand Bozoyan.
According to him, the only thing that was new was the different
interpretations of the English and Russian translations and that is
a little troubling.
"Armenian diplomats still have a lot to do," says the political
scientist, giving a negative evaluation of Armenian Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandyan's quick positive assessment.
"He had to study and give a more differentiated evaluation, especially
since there were flaws in the translations," says the political
scientist. According to Bozoyan, the lack of an evaluation by the
Azeri Foreign Ministry doesn't show that they have weak diplomacy,
but that they are weighing it out.
"Such statements are apparently guidelines for development of the
process and with this, the intermediaries are trying to break down
the tense atmosphere in the region," says the political scientist.
As far as the possibility of a new war is concerned, the political
scientist notes that the threat has clearly grown in the past two to
three years.
"It is clear that the status quo doesn't favor Azerbaijan and the Azeri
are trying to do everything they can to cause threats and pressure the
Armenian side and the OSCE intermediaries," says Bozoyan who believes
that there will be more forceful attacks, but the Azeri side will
avoid starting a extensive war.
Yervand Bozoyan doesn't understand Nagorno-Karabakh's passivity. "It
is due to the fact that Armenia has been leading negotiations for
Nagorno-Karabakh for the past couple of years," says Bozoyan, noting
that the Nagorno-Karabakh authorities are only involved in solving
the country's social issues and seems that they weren't expecting
such a major situation.
"The Artsakh authorities are not capable of taking decisions on their
own in a short amount of time," says Yervand Bozoyan.
The political scientist believes that though Karabakh is not taking
part in the negotiations, the situation must change through more
evaluations and perhaps coarser positions and demands that will
support the Armenian side.
