Azerbaijan's foreign ministry falls through

PanARMENIAN.Net - Certain disappointment is seen in the statement of Azerbaijan's foreign minister, that can testify unsuccessful endeavors of the Azeri diplomacy to organize a comprehensive isolation of Armenia and provoke a powerful political and diplomatic pressing on Yerevan, told to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter Andrey Areshev, political scientist and a member of the Strategic Culture foundation.



According to him, Armenian-Turkish reconciliation and unambiguous insinuations, that relations between Ankara and Yerevan are not tightly linked to the Nagorno Karabakh settlement, have apparently highlighted new trends, which Azerbaijan hasn't expected to face.



"Attempts to involve in Nagorno Karabakh settlement the European organizations, UN and recently Russia under certain conditions were connected with this. The wish "to see a note of constructiveness from Armenian part" seem at least strange against the radical position of the official Baku.



So, if there is somebody to blame, it is yourself in the first place. Nagorno Karabakh is the same disintegration product of the Soviet Union, as Azerbaijan, Abkhazia or Georgia.



It is time to speak seriously about compromise steps, which Azerbaijan is ready to make, and those steps must be sound enough against the background of what has Armenia said.



Security guarantees of the Nagorno Karabakh population cannot be in the spotlight for negotiators, which are impossible to achieve without regional demilitarization and stopping hostile propaganda.



However, negotiations dynamics do not inspire optimism and prompt that the meeting of two presidents in St. Petersburg will be a mere formality again, Mr. Areshev stressed.



Armenia's and Azerbaijan's presidents continue discussing questions in St. Petersburg, which are still unsolved in the framework of peaceful settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict , said Azerbaijan's foreign minister Elmar Mammadyarov.



Despite development of a new situation in the region, Armenia, unfortunately started negatively influencing the peaceful process. While we have achieved everything in peaceful process with Armenia's past administration, we have not achieved anything with current authorities. From the day of coming to authority of a new person in Armenia sides haven't budged an inch," Azerbaijan's foreign minister Elmar Mammadyarov said yesterday.
