ArmInfo. Given the political system that is currently operating in Azerbaijan, this country must constantly have an external enemy. The deputy of the National Assembly from the Enlightened Armenia faction Gevorg Gorgisyan stated this on April 3 in an interview with journalists.He noted that this explains the fact that during the talks the President of Azerbaijan says one thing, and arriving in Baku, he says something completely different.
"That xenophobia, which is propagated in Azerbaijan, needs constant nourishment, and this requires various populistic statements. But this path leads to a dead end. If both parties are not open with each other, then the negotiations have no prospects," the deputy said.Gorgisyan noted that the only way that can lead to success is maximum openness of the parties. "Our faction intends to hold closed talks with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and discuss everything that was discussed during the talks with Aliyev in Vienna, as representatives of the legislative body and representatives of parliamentary diplomacy should have such information," he stressed.He also stated that he had no particular expectations from the meeting in Vienna. "Initially, it was obvious that the meeting would be more of an introductory nature - just to understand what the negotiations were held before. And I think that the meeting itself is positive. However, it's bad that Aliyev, returning to his homeland, makes statements that contradict what he said during the negotiations ", - said the deputy.Gorgisyan also noted that if Azerbaijan wants a peaceful settlement of the conflict, then it must change its behavior. "Armenia has a goal to return Artsakh at the negotiating table, Azerbaijan has a goal not to allow it.
And negotiations should continue until a reasonable decision is made that will contribute to an effective resolution of the conflict. We have to convey to our international partners what without Artsakh, the negotiation process will not be effective, "he noted.With regard to humanitarian cooperation, the deputy said that in the matter of the exchange of prisoners, the parties should be in constant contact. "We have a prisoner Karen Ghazaryan, there is also a citizen of Azerbaijan Ibrahimov, who is now in Armenia. This process should continue," the deputy concluded.
