Member of the Armenian National Congress (HAK) international relations
committee Vladimir Karapetyan says the meeting between Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington
goes to show one thing.
"Russia is still laying the role of a mediator and this time it
wants to make sure it doesn't fail so that there won't be unexpected
developments during the next meeting at the highest level."
Mr. Karapetyan believes that Armenia is in a dangerous situation
after the meeting in Kazan.
"Armenia wasn't able to take advantage of Azerbaijan's failure.
Armenia immediately had to make the mediators condemn Azerbaijan's
destructive approach. Instead, it turned out that only Azerbaijan's
proposals remained on the agenda," Mr. Karapetyan told "A1+".
The diplomat is certain that the Co-Chairs will present Azerbaijan's
new proposals during their upcoming visit to the region. "In this
sense, it is very likely that those proposals will be more inacceptable
and Serzh Sargsyan will reject them. If Armenia rejects this time,
the country will face a serious challenge."
Mr. Karapetyan has no doubt that after Kazan, Azerbaijan is more
aggressive than the Armenian side and will pursue the mediators to
give their evaluations.
As far as the outcome is concerned, Karapetyan says Azerbaijan is
very likely to reach that.
Accepting as a basis RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan's statement
that there will be progress if Azerbaijan rejects its new proposals,
Mr. Karapetyan said: "He affirms that Azerbaijan has presented new
proposals on the table. It is very important to know what those
changes are."
Touching upon Serzh Sargsyan's interview to "Golos Armeni" newspaper,
Vladimir Karapetyan noted: "He is talking about Armenia's goals in
1988, but we should recall what we could have achieved in 1997 if
we had signed a document that would engage the NKR. I call on the
authorities to compare the current document and the Madrid Principles
that were released with the document in 1997. Let them show how the
documents have evolved."
