The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's representative has announced that
Baku is ready to begin negotiations with Armenia over the big peace
agreement, stressing that protraction of the conflict is unacceptable
to them.
Panorama.am asked political expert Tigran Abrahamyan to comment on
the matter.
"The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's statement pursues one purpose:
to distort the essence of the negotiation process. At first sight,
it seems that Azerbaijan shows constructive approach, expresses
readiness to continue the negotiations. But only at first sight.
"How can the sides pass on to negotiations over the big peace agreement
while they failed to agree on the basic principles?
Azerbaijan in essence rejected the basic principles document in Kazan
in 2011, and put forward 10 new proposals.
"From the above mentioned we can conclude that despite its assurances,
in reality, it is Baku that delays the negotiations with its steps,
which is indeed inadmissible," said the expert.
