Rasim Musabeyov EU has recently put sufficient pressure on Armenia.
The Azerbaijani-Armenian negotiation process has entered the second
stage that envisioning Baku's negotiations with Russia and Turkey
on measures of pressure of these countries for it to accept the
updated Madrid principles and withdraw its troops from Karabakh,
said political scientist Rasim Musabeyov.
'It became clear in Benice, where Azerbaijani FM Mammadyarov held a
meeting with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs that Armenia does not
want to accept the updated Madrid principles proposed by the OSCE
Minsk Group co-chairs', said Musabeyov.
'But no matter what Armenia wants, this country is too much dependent',
he continued.
The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs are officials that have done their
work. These officials have no forceful methods of pressure. The
further processes depends not on them but on the leaders of the
superpowers-the Minsk Group co-chairs, considers Musabeyov.
'As far as I know, this work is proceeding. We are negotiating with
Russia which is interested in the opening of the transport railroad to
Armenia via Azerbaijan and further to Turkey, opening of communications
for the armed grouping of Russia to Armenia. Today this transport
opportunity has almost been lost. Turkey and Russia hold due talks
and discussions are held in the United States and EU. EU has recently
put sufficient pressure on Armenia', said the political scientist.
In the end, everyone understands that if there is no progress in
settlement, this will untie hands for the forced settlement of
the issue which is not expedient for any party, said the political
scientist.
