Lavrov's formulation is Azerbaijani perception of status quo
Saturday,
May 25
Following the extradition and pardon of Ramil Safarov, the negotiating
process on Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement should be launched
from scratch, military expert David Jamalian stated at a meeting with
reporters today.
Speaking about the latest meeting between Foreign Ministers of Russia
and Azerbaijan, Sergei Lavrov and Elmar Mamedyarov, the expert noted
it was a regular meeting, not envisaging any developments in the
negotiating process.
`Lavrov should have been more cautious in his statements. Azerbaijan
has recently begun advancing a thesis about inadmissibility of the
status quo. Lavrov's formulation is Azerbaijan's perception of the
status quo,' Jamalian said.
In his words, to Artsakh, the Madrid Principles are inadmissible and
obsolete. `Territorial concessions are also obsolete to the Armenian
side. As Shavarsh Kocharian said, if you want a change in the status
quo, then recognize Artsakh,' David Jamalian noted.
As regards the bellicose statements that Azerbaijan makes almost every
day, the military expert said: `Azerbaijan cannot pass from words to
deeds while we have the state of Artsakh, a powerful defense system,
and the Defense Army of the NKR'.
