http://times.am/?l=0&p=8634
Today Armenian and Azerbaijani Ministers of Foreign Affairs Edward
Nalbandyan and Elmar Mammadyarov will meet in Paris. Nagorno-Karabakh
issue settlement is on agenda of the meeting. International society
has already expressed its attitude towards the meeting. As US State
Secretary Hilary Clinton and OSCE chairperson-in-office Eamon Gilmore
announced before new offers will be presented by the OSCE MG co-chairs
which will aim to make Armenian and Azerbaijani attitudes nearer.
Armenian politician Alexander Manasyan referred to the meeting of
two MFAs today during the press-conference.
The politician does not have any special expectations from this meeting
and considers this is just a preparation for the meeting of Armenian
and Azerbaijani Presidents.
''Nothing decisive must be expected from this meeting. But in any
case now these meetings have anti-Armenian character'', Manasyan
underlined. According to the speaker Azerbaijan plans provocations
on the border in order to make pressure on Armenian society and on
the international society as well.
''It will be better if we discuss the events in larger frame and not
only in local frame. It will be righter if we take into consideration
the developments of the last 20 years when Azerbaijan always tried
to present the issue as Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict'', politician
underlined.
The politician considers that the idea of the attacks is more important
case. ''Azerbaijan aims to strengthen idea of taking back the lands
by force. We must explain the international society that it has no
right to claim even one centimeter of land'', the speaker underlined.
Manasyan presented two possible versions of the Azerbaijani provocation
on the border. ''First, it may be Azerbaijani own decision and
the second, the international frames might be informed about it.
In first case Azerbaijan just checks our strength. If the second
version works, then the events may be connected with Iran as well
and here the situation is becoming more complicated. In this case
our diplomacy must act'', Manasyan considers.
While speaking about the possibility of war Manasyan said: ''We must
always be ready for the war. In general, in the whole world everyone
must be ready for the war as we face the competition every day and
also in economical sphere. The peace is perfect but we must not also
forget about the war''. The politician also added that according to
him no war will take place now. At the same time Manasyan underlined
that he would go to war if there is such a necessity.
