PanARMENIAN.Net - The director of the ARF bureau's Hay Dat and
political affairs office Kiro Manoyan predicted no change in Karabakh
settlement talks' format before the oncoming elections.
As he told a news conference in Yerevan, the change in negotiation
format is only possible if Setepanakert becomes involved in settlement
talks.
Mr. Manoyan was skeptical over a possibility of progress in Karabakh
settlement, blaming Baku for stalling negotiations.
Dwelling on Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's proposals on
conflict settlement, as well as Yerevan and Baku's response for
proposals advanced, Manoyan characterized the response of both sides
as negative. At June 24 meeting in Kazan, the Presidents of Armenia,
Azerbaijan and Russia failed to sign an agreement on basic principles
of Karabakh conflict settlement. As Armenian Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandian noted later, despite the OSCE MG co-chairs' efforts,
Azerbaijan was not ready to accept the final version of basic
principles, presenting ten new amendments at the last moment. On July
8, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov handed over a personal
message and proposals of RF President Dmitry Medvedev to Armenian
and Azerbaijani leaders Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev, who later
submitted their responses for proposals advanced.
