The Armenian Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) is upset
at the results of the Astrakhan meeting and does not have any special
hopes in connection with the OSCE Summit in Astana.
The Armenian-Azerbaijani-Russian presidential meeting has fallen short
of expectations. The sides did not discuss the principal aspects
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, particularly Nagorno-Karabakh's
status and security guarantees, Armen Rustamyan, the Chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee, RA Parliament and ARF-D Board member,
told journalists.
The statement adopted in Astrakhan will, to a certain extent,
contribute to security and atmosphere of confidence in the conflict
zone provided the agreements are put into effect and not violated by
Azerbaijan. Baku's position does not inspire any optimism - Azerbaijan
organized a provocation just on the threshold of the Astrakhan
meeting. "In fact, the present situation in the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict zone is a neither-war-nor-peace situation. Even official
statements say about exchange of POWs," Rustamyan said. He is not
optimistic about the OSCE Summit in Astana. "I do not think any
fundamental agreements may be reached in Astana, as the sides are
too far from each other now. Azerbaijan is not at all ready for any
compromise. If the international community and mediators are expecting
the summit to produce any results, it means they hope for concessions
by the Armenian side. They are erroneous, however. The Armenian side
will not do it," Rustamyan said.
