ONE MORE 'OPTIMISTIC STATEMENT' - ARMENIAN MP ON EXPECTED STATEMENT ON NAGORNO-KARABAKH
22:08 ~U 14.06.13
A joint statement by the Russian, US and French presidents at the
G8 Summit in Northern Ireland, June 17 and 18, will be one more
"optimistic statement," Armenia's ex-FM and Parliament member Alexander
Arzumanyan told Tert.am.
The international community has no expectations in this respect
because it is waiting for the presidential election in Azerbaijan.
"It is going to be in the spirit similar to that of Deauville and
Moscow or of all the previous statements. I do not think there will
be any essential difference," Arzumanyan said.
The mediators are trying to intensify the Armenian-Azerbaijani
contacts.
"They achieve a number of objectives. On the one hand, they re-affirm
the Madrid principles and approve a text in the spirit of their
previous statements. On the other hand, they re-affirm the need
for a peaceful settlement and call for further top-level meetings,"
Arzumanyan said.
Chairman of the Political Scientists' Union of Armenia Hmayak
Hovhannisyan shares Arzumanyan's opinion. "They are trying to find
the way of breaking the stalemate in the peace process. It is clear
that the peace process is frozen now, and the Armenian and Azerbaijani
presidents are not holding meetings," he said.
