The NATO Summit is special to us this time, as Armenia is represented
at the presidential level, President of the European Integration NGO,
analyst Karen Bekaryan told reporters today.
He reminded that the Armenian President did not attend the two
previous summits, as the wording on Nagorno Karabakh used in the final
document was unacceptable to Armenia. In the final document NATO was
stressing the importance of only one of the principles - the
territorial integrity. This was seen as certain violation of the
format and content of negotiations under way within the framework of
the OSCE Minsk Group.
As for Armenian President's speech at the summit, Karen Bekaryan
stressed several essential points. "First, the President emphasized
the fact that NATO member Turkey is lobbying to ensure support for the
interests of its ally Azerbaijan," he said.
The political scientist considers that if this time NATO resorts to
the wording of the previous years, it will encourage Azerbaijan to
become more cynical and provocative in its actions. According to him,
this will lay a huge responsibility and blame on those who adopt the
document.
"If the same formulations are used, this will devalue the meeting in
Wales and Kerry's promises," Bekaryan said.
The analyst hopes, but is not confident, that Armenia's approaches
will be reflected in the document, as there is danger that interests
are starting to prevail over values.
