“Iran is a very crucial partner and neighbor in many dimensions—trade, transport, energy, geopolitics. I read the statement by Rouhani in Yerevan as a standard diplomatic formulation, in other context— Netanyahu’s visit to Baku.”
“For us Armenia and Azerbaijan are friendly states, and we hope that we will witness establishment of stable peace in the region which will benefit the entire region. Undoubtedly, this conflict has no military solution. We want to witness the peaceful settlement of the conflict,” Rouhani said.
And as Armenian authorities also stated on their readiness at least not to oppose to that plan, Ter-Petrosyan proposes implementation of the propaganda part of that deal, in all likelihood, in the forthcoming parliament, or, for certain engagement with the leadership system, which is the same.
“After Azerbaijan’s attempt at the beginning of this April to repeat aggression against the self-determined NagornoKarabakh Republic it became clear to everyone that if Azerbaijan rejects the packaged settlement of the issue, then there is only one version of step-by-step settlement.”
Reflecting to purchase of “Iskander-M” tactical missile system by Armenia, the magazine reports that experts, following Russia-Azerbaijan Intergovernmental Commission session, express the opinion that Azerbaijan isn’t at all bothered by this circumstance.
“The alleged Armenian unmanned aerial vehicle in the photo is just another toy of Azerbaijani children: to raise the spirit of the Azerbaijani army,” Hovhannisyan said.
“Azerbaijan may get encouraged, however, Russian policy and interests haven’t changed. Russia will pursue its traditional policy, and I don’t consider that changes will be recorded,” the analyst said.
“The most noteworthy in this statement was installation of investigative mechanisms and expansion of Kasprzyk’s office should take place in parallel with content negotiations on the settlement. Maybe many didn’t pay attention to this paragraph, but it was a rather essential observation.”
We urge the parties to remove all remaining obstacles to expanding the mission of the Personal Representative of the OSCE Chairperson-in-Office and to make progress on a proposal to establish an OSCE investigative mechanism. The proposals should be implemented together with the immediate resumption of negotiations on a settlement.
“There is no alternative to intensive negotiations. As a result of these very negotiations unexpected agreements will be reached, thus, the mediators should provide those dynamic negotiations not allowing any of the sides to toughen its position,” Macfarlane said.
