`Kazan's meeting was aimed at signing a document between Serzh
Sargsyan and Ilham Aliev where it will be mentioned that the sides
refuse solving problems through military way,' Regional Studies Center
(RSC) Director Richard Giragosian said today.
He noted that a big diplomatic work was done and there were expectations.
`Before Kazan Azerbaijan was trying to show that he is ready for
certain concessions, but as soon as he reached Kazan the Azerbaijani
side started to discuss the issues that had before been discussed,' R.
Giragosian noted.
According to Giragosian, in Kazan Azerbaijan was putting the emphasis
not so much on the documents at the negotiations table, but rather on
its June 26 military parade with the intention of demonstrating the
result of its military cooperation with Russia, particularly its S-300
air defense system which does not pose an actual danger since it is
essentially a defensive weapon.
`By constantly threatening with war and demanding everything at once,
Azerbaijan has put itself in the corner and now looks for a suitable
excuse to come out from that trap which it has created and to give up
Karabagh `with dignity.''
