"The statement adopted in the aftermath of Sochi-hosted tripartite
meeting means status quo will maintain, and Azerbaijan has to cope
with it," Sergey Minasyan, deputy director of "Caucasus" institute,
said in a news conference remarking on Medvedev-Sargsyan-Aliyev
tripartite meeting.
According to the expert the agreement adopted during Medvedev's final
term in office doesn't mean that Russia may change its position in the
future, as Russia will never voluntarily concede Minsk Group format.
"Positive outcome of the statement is that negotiations and Minsk
Group format will continue," expert said.
Asked if Russian Foreign Ministry statement urging the sides to avoid
"maximalist manifestations" is a demand from Armenian side to give
up claims for NK status priorities, S. Minasyan said.
"That appeal doesn't refer to the status of Nagorno-Karabakh, it
refers to the peaceful resolution of the conflict," expert said.
