In a result of the trilateral meeting between presidents of Armenia,
Azerbaijan and Russia, the Karabakh talks stepped six months back,
said political scientist Sergey Minasian.
"The most important result of this talk is that Karabakh talks stepped
six months back to the situation ahead of trilateral meeting in Sochi.
It is also important that the format has been kept, and that Russia,
who acts as the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair and main military and
strategic ally of Armenia, continues playing an important role in
the peaceful talks," said analyst. He pointed that in result of last
developments the Armenian-Russian partnership got stronger, which is
a subject for concerns in Azerbaijan and beyond it.
"It can be said of the end of Turkey's aspirations -- even though
they were hopeless -- to be involved into the process of settlement
to the Karabakh conflict," said Sergey Minasian. In Sergey Minasian's
opinion, Azerbaijan expected Turkey's involvement into the process,
and that was the reason for Aliev's frustration when he was leaving
from St. Petersburg.
Pointing at the Declaration signed on November 2, 2008 at the
Meiendorf Castle outside Moscow, Minasian said that the sides that time
demonstrated readiness to settle the conflict by peaceful meanings;
however the Declaration hasn't acquired any legal force.
"At least, the facts that the Declaration is signed by Russian
President, and that last developments occurred several hours after
the trilateral meeting, organised by president of this country, had
been held, as I think, cause serious reasons for Moscow to reflect."
