YEREVAN. - Russian FM Sergei Lavrov's statement, which was made during
his talk with Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mammadyarov, is a statement that
needs to be observed along the lines of the logic of the Madrid
Principles.
Military analyst Davit Jamalyan noted the above-said during a press
conference on Saturday.
In his words, it is first necessary to realize what a change in the
status quo of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict means for Azerbaijan.
`It is not a secret that the Azerbaijani party has spread in recent
years the idea of impermissibility of the maintenance of the status
quo. And Azerbaijan perceives the change in the status quo as the
first phase in invading Nagorno-Karabakh,' Jamalyan said. He added,
however, that this cannot be a subject for discussion for the Armenian
party.
As per the analyst, the important thing is whether Lavrov was
considering the Azerbaijani alternative for a change in the status quo
when he made that statement.
`But our partners need to understand one important thing. After making
a hero out of Ramil Safaraov [the Azerbaijani army officer who had
killed with an axe Armenian soldier Gurgen Margaryan in Budapest back
in 2004 and who was released in Azerbaijan last year, following his
extradition to that country from Hungary], the Azerbaijani party has
essentially rejected the Madrid Principles,' he said.
Davit Jamalyan added that Armenia has clearly presented its position,
according to which it will sign under any document only if
Nagorno-Karabakh agrees to the given document.
