Today the Azerbaijani minister of foreign affairs Mammedyarov
meets with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs in Paris. Tomorrow the
Armenian foreign minister is meeting with them in Moscow. During the
meeting with the foreign minister of Serbia Nalbandyan said that
the joint meeting of the ministers with the co-chairs depends on
the circumstances.
It might be just a coincidence that Nalbandyan meets with the co-chairs
in Moscow but it is too striking a difference that Mammedyarov
meets with them in Paris. Apparently, Moscow would like to show that
hereinafter all contacts with Armenia will take place in Moscow.
The Armenian experts have already put forth questions about the destiny
of the OSCE Minsk Group in case Russia and the United States break off
diplomatic relations. So far parity in the Karabakh area was maintained
within the format of the Minsk Group through mutual suppression of
the United States and Russia. Will Russia use the confrontation to
make single-handed decisions on Karabakh? The Russian propaganda
is trying to present the referendum on Crimea as a precedent for
Karabakh? This is evidence that Russia may make up its mind on the
annexation of Karabakh.
Nalbandyan's meeting with the co-chairs was organized in Moscow to make
Armenia announce that it supports Russia in the geopolitical fight. So
far Armenia has not announced to not recognize the new government
of Ukraine, and Moscow does not like this. Apparently, Moscow wants
Nalbandyan to announce that Crimea is a precedent for Karabakh.
