Oskanian: Armenia was wrong in agreeing to maximum concessions in Karabakh talks

PanARMENIAN.Net - Ex-Foreign Minister, Prosperous Armenia party member Vartan Oskanian slammed the official Yerevan’s policy line in Karabakh conflict negotiations.

“I believe, Armenia committed a mistake for prematurely agreeing to maximum of concessions without making sure Azerbaijan will respond in kind. The official Yerevan made a similar mistake during a rapprochement attempt with Turkey, with talks currently in a stalemate,” the politician said on his Facebook page.

As he noted, during her visit to Yerevan, U.S. State Secretary Hillary Clinton tried to get Armenia to agree to a couple of Azeri proposals. “However, Secretary Clinton failed, as Armenia had nothing to add to stipulations adopted during a meeting in Kazan.”

“Though Karabakh settlement mediators are accusing every conflicting party, clearly, it’s Azerbaijan who’s hindering the negotiations’ progress with its radical demands, military rhetoric and border attacks,” Oskanian said.
