    POLITICAL SCIENTIST: AZERBAIJAN SEEKING TO CHANGE OSCE MG FORMAT

    Azerbaijan seeks to change the format of OSCE MG, says political
    scientist Hrant Melik-Shakhnazaryan.

    He told media on Tuesday that official Baku tries to involve Turkey
    in the OSCE Minsk Group to resolve the Karabakh conflict in its favor
    and increase Ankara's influence in the South Caucasus. He said that
    USA and Russia fight for the influence in the region, but Russia is
    responsible for security in the region.

    To recall subdivisions of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan made another
    attempt of sabotage attack on the state border of Armenia near villages
    of Berdavan and Chinar on June 4 and 5. The enemy was rebuffed and
    forced to retreat. Three Armenian soldiers were killed as a result:
    Hrach Sargsyan, Zohrab Balabekyan and Karen Davtyan. Another 5 were
    wounded.

    Melik-Shakhnazaryan said that provocations by the Azerbaijani armed
    forces and deaths of Armenian soldiers were "dedicated" to Hillary
    Clinton's visit to the region. "Azerbaijan tries its best to show
    that the conflict is not frozen and there is no status-quo. Over long
    years the world community is persuading Azerbaijan to remain committed
    to peaceful resolution of the conflict, but useless," he said. The
    political scientist forecasts growth of aggression by Azerbaijan on
    the threshold of the presidential elections in Artsakh on July 19.

    Incumbent president of NKR Bako Sahakyan, ex-deputy defense minister
    Vitaly Balasanyan, pro-rector of the Stepanakert branch of the State
    Agrarian University of Armenia for Research Arkady Soghomonyan and
    unemployed Valery Khachatryan will run for the president on July 19.

    All them are self-nominated and non-party men.
