YEREVAN, DECEMBER 8, ARMENPRESS.  Escalation of the situation on the border ahead of the meeting of Armenia and Azerbaijani presidents has become regularity for the official Baku.

Armenpress” reports that Larisa Alaverdyan, Executive Director of “The Foundation Against the Violation of Law”, first Human Rights Defender of Armenia, expressed such an opinion. According to her, Azerbaijan, as always, tries to secure its positions before the presidents’ meeting. Moreover, it shows dissatisfaction with the OSCE MG format.

“They are well aware in Azerbaijan that the major players will not permit to solve the problem by force in current geopolitical situation. Azerbaijan also sees that the approach it spreads about its so-called right for the return of the territories does not receive positive response from the countries representing the OSCE MG. This means that Azerbaijan has one possibility; to increase provocative acts during different periods,” Alaverdyan said.

In regard to diplomacy conducted by Armenia, Alaverdyan emphasized that the Armenian diplomacy is not only the one conducted by the executive body. Parliamentary and public diplomacy are also important. According to her, the ideas, which the executive body will find hard to put into circulation, will be more available for parliamentary diplomacy. Hence, all the chains must be activated to make the situation created over Artsakh as an issue of political agenda on the international platform.
