Richard Giragorsian, Director of Armenia-based Regional Studies

Guragosian said Azerbaijani delegates' conduct resembles "tragic
farce": they called Armenian president "criminal terrorist" and
accused Tevan Poghosyan's family of terrorism.
"I'm proud of all that my father has done... He taught me to love my
country," Poghosyan said in response.
The Armenian delegates noted that the Armenian armed forces are now
contributor, and no longer consumer of regional and international
security.
Azerbaijani analyst Avaz Hasanov, for his part, warned NATO meeting
of risk of instability in Azerbaijan from islamists and criticizes
Baku crackdown on civil society. Besides, he warned of difficulty in
engaging Armenia and Karabakh under Azerbaijan state pressure.
