The active geopolitical reshuffling has probably affected the process
of peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict. The famous statement
of US Co-Chair James Warlick, which differed from the document on
the table, somewhat invigorated the Minsk Group process, political
scientist Hrant Melik Shahnazaryan told reporters today.
Although the Azerbaijani side accepted Waarlick's statements more
warmly, neither the Azerbaijani President, nor the Foreign Minister
met the Minsk Group Co-Chairs in Baku, as both were in Vietnam.
Considering the recent developments, Melik-Shahnazaryan considers
that having failed to ensure progress in the negotiations, the Madrid
Principles are actually inviable. On the other hand, the mediating
mission is undergoing not only contextual, but also practical changes.
France has decided to change its Co-Chair in the Minsk Group.
The negotiations have been complicated in the recent period against
the background of aggravation of Russian-American relations, the
political scientist said.
Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan did not rule out that the dragging out of
the negotiation process is connected with the Eurasian Economic union
to be established in the near future.
