May 15, 2014 | 18:27
YEREVAN. - The statement by OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs on the return
of the territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh, is very disturbing,
because the emphasis is changed, analyst Yervand Bozoyan toldArmenian
News-NEWS.am.
According to him, the statement about inadmissible status quo on
Karabakh is not new, but remarks concerning the return of territories
are very dangerous.
"The situation is changing, and I see a danger in this," Bozoyan
emphasized.
Referring to the fact that Armenian Foreign Ministry often declares
Armenian side's position is in accordance with the stance of
international mediators, the analyst noted that the mediators are
using this.
"Armenia's Foreign Ministry has never questioned the statements by
mediators, unlike Azerbaijan, that always expresses disagreement with a
particular item. Armenia is passive. Mediators see no resistance from
the official Yerevan, while Azerbaijan is showing resistance. So,
in order to solve the problem, the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs are
gradually changing their decision in favor of Azerbaijan, which is
understandable," Bozoyan emphasized.
As reported earlier, Minsk Group Co-Chairs on Monday released a
statement on the 20th anniversary of the ceasefire between the parties
to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The statement said the settlement
will have to include the elements outlined by the Presidents of the
co-chair countries in statements from 2009 to 2013.
