The meeting between the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Munich is over, giving rise to the already accumulated problems of Karabakh settlement and adding to them, one might say, some unexpected processes. After the meeting, reporters were of different opinions about whether the meeting ended as usual, with yet another statement issued by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs. But is it really so?

The week began with continuation of discussions over the Armenian-Turkish Protocols, flowed mainly into the criticism of the foreign policy authorities, and conditioned by the weakness of its internal state. As Vahan Shirkhanyan, Member of the Social-Democratic Hunchak Party Central Board, noted on Monday at a press conference, challenges facing Armenia are not decreasing but increasing. He stressed that this process is not natural, but arising from the policies pursued by the Armenian authorities.
