Heritage party leader Raffi Hovannisian’s statement addressed to OSCE Minsk Group was also a call to Armenian authorities, former member of Heritage parliamentary group said.

“Further pursuing the policy based on Madrid principles will imply the three co-chair countries’ mere willingness to preserve the peace rather than resolve the conflict,” Larisa Alaverdyan said.

She further stressed the need for Armenia to have urged Minsk Group for a discussion on Azerbaijan’s racist statements and anti-Armenian policy, following Azeri axe-killer Ramil Safarov ’s extradition.

“Armenia resolved to counter Azerbaijani propaganda only in 2009 by unleashing an information war. Armenia must have pursued a proactive policy. Why should Yerevan endure Baku’s position, claiming it owns the liberated territories and the rest of the areas illegally passed over to Azerbaijan during the Soviet period,” Alaverdyan said.
