YEREVAN, JULY 1, ARMENPRESS:
It is obvious that the Kazan meeting will have its positive impact in respects that the Azerbaijani party again displayed its indifference over the position of international community and co-chairing countries, member of the Republican party of Armenia Gagik Minasyan said speaking to Armenpress.
"They say one thing during discussions and quite another after reaching Baku. The developments showed that this time as well Ilham Aliyev like in St. Petersburg, not participating in the initially scheduled events, left. It is impossible to keep this approach for a long time as the international community will form a corresponding attitude with not only words but actions", Gagik Minasyan said.
Referring to the statement of the co-chairs that if the parties in Kazan would not come to agreement, they will come forth with new proposals, Minasyan noted that the new suggestions must deprive Azerbaijan from the opportunity of displaying unconstructive behavior.
"First Azerbaijan must be deprived of the opportunity to solve the issue in the military way. It is already a prepared step as the Deauville statement noted that the resuming of the military activities will be condemned and the step to do it will be the direct recognition of independence of Nagorno Karabakh", the parliamentarian said, adding that it is very important as Azerbaijan will be deprived of the prospect of military settlement of the conflict. According to Minasyan, the second is that sooner or later NK must become a negotiating party, which is important for transferring the process to the constructive phase. The ground for it has been laid by the Deauville statement of the heads of the co-chairing countries, as it was addressed not to Armenia and Azerbaijan but the conflicting parties, including Nagorno Karabakh.
"Recently when the US President Barack Obama had a phone conversation with the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia, he also spoke about Armenia and NK. These may be the new proposals that may be included in the process", Minasyan said.
