The successive meeting of the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Prague once again was unproductive. Such was, at least, the impression of the statements, which as always, were filled with on-duty, non-committal phrases. In a word, no "breakthrough" occurred. Nevertheless, Mathew Bryza as always stayed true to himself and again said inopportunely that "an agreement on the Basic Principles was achieved", which immediately caused sharp reaction in Stepanakert.

The next meeting between the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan at the summit of "Eastern Partnership" due in Prague will apparently not introduce a breakthrough in the regulation of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. By the way, we would not even discuss this issue as everything is clear as it is. But one circumstance made us do it, namely the absence of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue in the notorious Armenian-Turkish "road map", which no one has ever seen and which simply does not exist.
