YEREVAN. - The meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents took
place after almost two-year break which means that dialogue resumed,
Deputy Speaker Eduard Sharmazanov told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
Giving assessment of 2013 in the context of Karabakh issue,
Sharmazanov said resumption of talks is a positive movement.
`Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh always stand for peaceful settlement of
the conflict. It is not excluded that Azerbaijani leader Ilham
Aliyev's return to negotiating table is conditioned by the statements
of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs,' he said.
Sharmazanov, Deputy Speaker and spokesperson for the ruling party,
noted it is impossible to resolve conflict without full participation
of Nagorno-Karabakh. Secondly, Turkey, as a regional actor repeatedly
stating about regional peace, should take several moves: open the
border, stop unilateral support for Azerbaijan, speak against
militarist rhetoric of Baku and avoid interfering in Karabakh peace
process.
`We are optimistic. If the negotiation process continues, there is
hope for peaceful solution,' Sharmazanov concluded.
