Tensions at frontline advantageous for Azerbaijan, NKR MP says

PanARMENIAN.Net - Chairman of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic National Assembly standing committee on foreign relations Vahram Atanesyan said that Azerbaijan does not want to hold negotiations on the Karabakh conflict settlement, as the talks lead to legalization of independence of the Republic of Artsakh.

“Baku is trying to distort the negotiations essence by all means, as the talks lead to international recognition of Karabakh’s status, while the Aliyev clan cannot put up with it. That is why Azerbaijan escalates the situation at the contact line between the NKR and Azerbaijani armed forces through provocations and continuously makes bellicose statements,” Atanesyan said, adding that tenseness at the frontline is advantageous for Azerbaijan.
