Armenia
YEREVAN. - Non-resuming of the military actions in the zone of the
Karabakh conflict is one of the main issues of the OSCE Minsk group
co-chairs, deputy director of the Caucasus Institute Sergey Minasyan
said at a press conference on Monday commenting on the negotiation
process on the eve of the pre-election period and on the outcome of
the statement by OSCE MG co-chairs about the meeting of Armenian and
Azerbaijani Presidents.
According to him, intensity in the conflict line has been reduced
recently. It is conditioned by the fact that Azerbaijan was persuaded
in the equality of the powers with Armenia after the military parade
in Yerevan and the intentions of great states that do not accept the
possibility of resuming the military actions.
In response to the report on possible high-level meeting of the two
states [Armenia and Azerbaijan] in the near future, the expert said
that theoretically it is possible. However, those meetings will aim
to continue the existing process but not to achieve any progressive
results in concluding a document. Besides, the expert stated that some
of the co-chair states try to press either of the sides and progress
may be recorded in this context.
Regarding the shift of the OSCE MG leading role from Russia to France,
Minasyan did not exclude such possibility.
