No expectations from Sochi meeting, Nagorno-Karabakh MP says
March 04, 2011 | 21:03
Nothing serious should be expected from the
Armenian-Azerbaijani-Russian presidential meeting in Sochi, March 5,
Armen Sargsyan, Chairman of the Armenian Revolutionary
Federation-Dashnaktsutyun (ARF-D) faction, Parliament of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
"There are expectations for two reasons: Azerbaijan is not ready for
negotiations and Nagorno-Karabakh itself is not involved in the
negotiations. Moreover, the trilateral format has, as if, exhausted
its potential," Sargsyan said.
According to him, the March 5 meeting can resolve "tactical, but not
strategic problems." The sides will re-state such issues as not
resuming hostilities, continuing negotiations, and the like. However,
any strategic issues will hardly be discussed.
As to what aspects may be emphasized by Russian President Dmitry
Medvedev, Sargsyan said: "He will try to show Russia`s power and
important role in the peace process."
Armenian News-NEWS.am reminds readers that Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan is to leave for Sochi March 5. The 8th
Armenian-Azerbaijani-Russian presidential meeting is to be held there
on the initiative and participation of Russian President Dmitry
Medvedev.
