MP: Azerbaijan is unreliable as negotiation partner

MP: Azerbaijan is unreliable as negotiation partner

ArmInfo.The process of a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan continues, today and  tomorrow in Berlin the foreign ministers of the two countries will discuss this issue.  Chair of the National Assembly Standing Committee on Foreign Relations Sargis Khandanyan stated in a conversation with journalists on February 28.

According to him, based on the results of these negotiations, it will  be possible to give an assessment of what stage of the peace process  the parties are at. Before this meeting, the 7th package of proposals  for a peace treaty was presented, and, apparently, the foreign  ministers of the two countries will work on the text of the document  itself for two days. "Then it will be possible to draw a conclusion  about whether progress has been noted in the negotiation process or  not," the parliamentarian emphasized.

He added that in the negotiation process that preceded discussions at  the level of foreign ministers, some details were discussed that were  initially agreed upon, but later Azerbaijan abandoned these  agreements.  Meanwhile, the Armenian side insists that the parties  adhere to previously reached agreements. " All this proves that  Azerbaijan is not a reliable partner.  If, after signing the  agreement, tensions do not subside, then there is simply no point in  holding negotiations. The Armenian side just wants a reduction in the  level of tension," the MP emphasized, not wanting to predict the  possibility of new armed provocations against Armenia. However, he  noted that the lack of progress in the negotiations involuntarily  leads to such developments.

Khandanyan noted the need to bring Baku into a constructive field,  and the role of mediating countries in this issue is significant. "If  they manage to do so, it will be great," Khandanyan said, considering  the latest statements by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, who put  forward a number of new demands to Yerevan, unacceptable, especially  when it comes to the internal affairs of Armenia. "Yerevan, as well  as the mediators, believe that the basic principles of the settlement  have been agreed upon. It is within the framework of these principles  that bilateral relations should be settled. Arms control is no less  important , which the Armenian side insists on, and which was stated  yesterday by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of  Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan," the parliamentarian noted.

Speaking about Russian mediation, as the MP noted, at present there  are no negotiations with the participation of the Russian side, and  for this reason it is difficult to assess the effectiveness of this  mediation. There is also no progress in relations between Armenia and  the Collective Security Treaty Organization.
