Massis Mailyan says Armenia and Azerbaijan not adopt a breakthrough document connected with Artsakh issue within the framework of the OSCE Summit

STEPANAKERT, NOVEMBER 17, ARMENPRESS: Armenia and Azerbaijan will not adopt a breakthrough document connected with Artsakh issue within the framework of the OSCE Summit in Astana December 1-2 as the world powers and public of the each party have not created corresponding conditions for doing it, chairman of the NKR foreign policy and security public council Massis Mailyan said speaking with Armenpress.

According to him, the heads of the OSCE participant-states will more probably adopt a statement in favor of the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict within the framework of the Minsk group. As to the Azerbaijani military rhetoric, Mailyan said that if Azerbaijan really wants peaceful settlement of relations with the NKR and Armenia, the military rhetoric contradicts that aims.

“The Azerbaijani military threats must be treated seriously. The statements of the Azerbaijani side are fostered with anti-Armenian propaganda, destabilization of the situation on the line of contact and acquirement of military engineering. This country is openly getting prepared for a war. Armenia and Artsakh, using the potential of allies and Diaspora, must use preventive means to prevent the new aggression of Azerbaijan,” Mailyan said.

The latter positively assesses the fact that Armenia’s authorities started responding to the statements of the Azerbaijani side as the absence of Armenia’s response is accepted in Azerbaijan as a sign of weakness. Mailyan said the Artsakh government must also display activeness in this issue.
