Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian seems to have registered
a progress at the meeting with the OSCE Minsk group co-chairs and
Azerbaijani foreign minister Elmar Mammadyarov on January 28 in Paris,
political analyst Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan said.
At a news conference today he reminded that according to the statement
released by the co-chairs the issue on operation of Stepanakert airport
was also discussed at the meeting. "Judging from further developments
and Serzh Sargsyan's statement that the airport will soon be operated
it may be concluded that Nalbandian has achieved a success in this
issue," he said.
The political analyst said that on the other hand it is obvious that
Azerbaijan is trying to change the format of negotiations wanting
Turkey to be engaged in it while the Armenian side is doing everything
to preserve the existing format and currently has better relations
with the international community which cannot be said about Azerbaijan.
The political analyst also stressed that the meeting was a working
one and it is possible that the negotiation process continues on the
level of presidents.
In Paris the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs discussed with the foreign
ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan the working proposals addressed
to the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict as well as issues
on operation of Stepanakert airport.
