The Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers' upcoming meeting in
Paris is aimed at preparing a breeding ground for a new presidential
summit, according to Alexander Manasyan, a political analyst.
"No landmark should be expected of this meeting. But whatever the case,
these meetings are not likely address the pro-Armenian aspect of the
issue," he told a news conference on Monday.
Speaking of the recent acts of sabotage on the Armenian-Azerbaijani
border, the expert said that Azerbaijan is trying in this manner to
exert pressures upon the Armenian authorities and world community.
"I do not attach much importance to those attacks. What poses more
hazards is Azerbaijan's efforts to fix the idea that it has the right
to seize its territory by using of force. We have to do all our best
to make it clear to the world community that no laws allow Azerbaijan
to demand a single inch of land," he said.
Asked whether the scheduled military exercises could fit within the
logic of a possible war plan he said: "We must always be prepared
for a war. Generally, that's the common rule for all the countries
worldwide given the existing competition. Peace is good, but we must
never forget about war."
