MG OSCE Co-Chairs' statement contains some elements of pressure
"Discussions on internal policy in Armenia and Azerbaijan, regarding MG OSCE Co-Chairs statement on NKR conflict are quite natural, and declassified Madrid principles were nothing new to conflicting parties' authorities," Political Research Center Director Ruben Hakobyan told a news conference today.

Yet, Hakobyan expressed his concern over some elements of pressure contained in MG OSCE Co-Chairs statement.

When questioned by PanARMENIAN.Net reporter as to possible consequences of MG OSCE Co-Chairs' pressure on RA President in terms of concessions, Hakobyan replied that RA President has two options: either he agrees to make concessions, or he refuses, and as a result, loses his power.
