Yerevan-based Caucasus Institute director, political analyst Alexander
Iskandaryan on Thursday told reporters that a recent statement by
Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov is not worth serious
consideration.

According to Azerbaijani Trend media agency, Mamedyarov on Wednesday
commented on Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents' upcoming meeting
saying that: "Azerbaijan is ready to start works on the peace treaty,"
adding that there have been many suggestions regarding removing armed
forces, refugee repatriation, and creating a working group between
structures solving problems of transport and substructures.
"Azerbaijan is ready to start such negotiations on the level of
experts. We are waiting for the response of the Armenian side."
The Armenian side variously blamed Azerbaijan in unpreparedness for
a peaceful regulation of the problem.
"We should not treat Mamedyarov's statement seriously, not like there
is a possibility of progress in the negotiations. This is just another
swing by which Azerbaijan realizes its military policy," the political
analyst said.
After an up-tick in border skirmishes in August and a subsequent
meeting between the warring countries' presidents some peace was
regained on the border. However new tensions have arisen as the October
24 meeting of presidents approaches. On this account Iskandaryan said
that normally border occurrences are related to the events around
the Karabakhi conflict resolution process.
"This way Azerbaijani strategy is realized, there is tension on the
border, there is a blow, after which an announcement is made. This
is a swing that swings from one side to the other, we cannot treat
it as a serious prospect," Iskandaryan said.
