Azerbaijan's sabotage attacks against Armenia have had a reverse
effect: instead of changing the status quo, as the Azeris expected,
the world community is doing its best to keep things as they are,
Deputy Director of the Caucasus Institute, political expert Sergey
Minasyan told journalists on Wednesday.
He sees no link between the Azeri border provocations and Hillary
Clinton's visit to the region.
"Azerbaijan has gained nothing but the death of a dozen of innocent
soldiers, who have lost their lives because of the ambitions of their
own leaders. As regards Clinton's visit, it was just a formality as
she has already said that she is going to resign," Minasyan said.
He said that Clinton's key tasks for Armenia were free and fair
elections and peace and stability in the region, for Georgia its
territorial problems in South Ossetia and Abkhazia and democratic
elections this autumn. "In Azerbaijan she will most probably discuss
energy problems, the measures to maintain the status quo in Nagorno-
Karabakh and, of course, Azeri-Iranian tensions," Minasyan said.
