Vahan Dilanyan, head of the Research Center for Political Developments,
commented on the scheduled meeting in Paris on Saturday between
Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers in an interview with
Panorama.am.
According to the expert, the meeting between Edward Nalbandian and
Elmar Mammadyarov will break the vacuum situation.
"Meetings between the conflicting sides are important from the point
of view of clarification of intentions and perceptions.
We should highlight 3 key circumstances in connection with this
meeting:
1. Armenia reconfirms its constructive position on Karabakh peace
process 2. Armenia continues to prevent Azerbaijan's provocative
efforts aimed at changing the OSCE Minsk Group format 3. It is a
preparatory meeting before a high-level meeting that could be held
in the future
In general, the meeting between the FMs is important because in fact
an attempt will be made to turn Azerbaijan to a constructive course.
The first result will be the fact of holding a meeting, and
the non-traditional attitude of the Co-Chairs to Azerbaijan's
unconstructive position will be an additional factor.
The Armenian side's position at the meeting will be tough and balanced
because there is a favorable information environment," said the expert.
We will remind that Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian will
meet with his Azerbaijani counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov and the OSCE
Minsk Group Co-Chairs in Paris on October 27.
The Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers last met on June 18
of this year in Paris, following their meeting with the OSCE Minsk
Group Co-Chairs.
On October 27, the FMs will meet tete-a-tete for the first time since
Azeri axe-murderer Ramil Safarov's extradition and pardon.
The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs met separately with the Foreign
Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Paris on September 3.
