PanARMENIAN.Net - In response to recent Azeri actions at the
contact line, OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries may alter the
negotiation format, resulting in Nagorno Karabakh Republic's becoming
a full-fledged member, according to head of Regional Studies Center
(RSC).
"We will witness interesting developments in Paris. U.S. Secretary of
State Hillary Clinton promised new proposals and format, which will
first of all pursue the goal to promote OSCE Minsk Group's activity,"
Richard Giragosian said.
The expert noted that the proposals to be issued to the conflicting
parties are still unknown.
"However, U.S. Secretary of State would have never made such a
statement without coming to terms with France and Russia," Mr.
Giragosian said.
"I expect it to be new format of talks, with NKR becoming full member
of negotiations," he said.
The expert further said that the experience of conduction of peace
talks on conflicts in Northern Ireland and Palestine prove the
impossibility of reaching an agreement without involvement of all
the countries in the process.
Mr. Giragosian denied the possibility of Karabakh's replacing Armenia
in negotiations, noting that Armenia will always play a significant
role.
He further slammed Armenian second president Robert Kocharian's
decision to continue talks with Azerbaijan without NKR's involvement.
