ALAVERDYAN: MEETING OF ARMENIAN AND AZERI PRESIDENTS NOT TO PRODUCE RESULTS
Saturday,July 19
The meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents in Paris will not
produce results. First Ombudsperson of Armenia, chairwoman of Against
Legal Arbitrariness NGO Ms. Larisa Alaverdyan expressed this opinion
during a talk with the correspondent of Aysor.am, when speaking about
the planned summit of Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev.
"On the whole, such meetings are productive when there are some
relations between the countries, but in case of Armenia and Azerbaijan,
relations are still absent," she said, adding that such meetings have
taken place repeatedly, but they did not result in anything. "These
meetings do not contribute to regional security. The sides usually
discuss the Madrid Principles, which do not give any results for the
negotiating process," L. Alaverdyan noted, stressing that in reality
the meetings only complicate the talks.
As for Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's statement in Uruguay about
the sale of arms by Russia to Azerbaijan, Larisa Alaverdyan said that
not only the people, but also authorities of Armenia are concerned
over the fact that the strategic partner sells arms to Azerbaijan.
"It is a security issue that should be voiced. I connect it mainly
with the statement of French Ambassador to Armenia Henri Reynaud to
the effect that France may not sell arms and ammunition to Azerbaijan
because it is a Co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group and must observe the
provisions specified by the Charters of the UN and the ISCE," she said.
As regards Russia, Larisa Alaverdyan said the fact that Russia is a
mediator state of the OSCE Minsk Group as well as Armenia's strategic
partner has not been an obstacle for it and Russia continues to
sell arms to Azerbaijan, which means it maintains neutrality in the
negotiating process.
The first ombudsperson expressed an opinion that Russia should act
in a civilized way and admit that it is a country participating in
the negotiations over the Karabakh conflict settlement. "Russia not
only violates the provisions of the negotiating process, but also does
not behave as a strategic partner," L. Alaverdyan said in conclusion.
