Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said in his interview with EuroNews
that he proposes Azerbaijan to sign an agreement on non-use force.
Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately issued a
statement, saying the Armenian President wishes to eliminate the
danger of use of force.
"We welcome statement by Serzh Azadovich Sargsyan and his calls to
sign a statement on non-use of force, and are prepared to it but only
after removal of a reason causing such a threat. i.e. deoccupation
of Azerbaijani territory," spokesman for the Azerbaijani Foreign
Ministry Elkhan Polukhov said.
Elkhan Polukhov's words evidence that, in fact, Azerbaijan refuses
from the Madrid Principles, and this provides certain opportunities
to Armenia, political scientist Samvel Martirosyan told "Radiolur."
"In fact, Azerbaijan rejects the principles it says to have accepted.
At this point Azerbaijan presents itself as a non-constructive party,
as a threatening party, as a party that hampers the negotiations. All
this allows us to view Azerbaijan as a party that wishes to withdraw
from the talks," Samvel Martirosyan said.
