Baku Called Armenia Aggressor so Many Times, that Believed ItMarch 7, 2006 - 17:55 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The format of peace talks over the Nagorno Karabakh conflict has changed during the 7-8 years, Chair of External Relations Commission of the National Assembly of Armenia in 1995-1999 Hovhannes Igityan stated in a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, both subjective and objective factors were present in this case. "In 1998 new President Robert Kocharian came to power and the foreign policy of changed naturally. New authorities pursued the policy of bilateral talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which suited rather well to the opposing party. The methodology of the conflict changed. Azerbaijan started calling Armenia as an aggressor country exclusively. Azeris said it so many times, that they started believing it even themselves," Igityan underscored.In his opinion, each new meeting of the two presidents and mediators only legalized that new format. «The OSCE MG accepted those changes with pleasure - there was one problem solved. However, it should not be forgotten that signatures of Armenia, Azerbaijan and the NKR are under the Bishkek agreement on cease-fire. As of the participation of the so-called «Azeri community» of NK, lead by Nizami Bakhmanov, in the talks, it is absurd at all. Nizami Bakhmanov is not a juridical person and is not entitled to represent anyone,» Igityan said.
