Azerbaijan May Reject OSCE MG Proposals
Azerbaijan may reject the proposals of the OSCE Minsk Group included in the framework agreement, said Mubariz Ahmedoglu, the head of the Center of Political Innovations and Technologies. The political scientist does not believe that the presidential meeting will bear a formal nature. "The forthcoming Kocharian-Aliyev meeting is the most important one in the whole negotiation process and it can yield result even if the sides do not sign any documents," he said.
Analyst Rasim Agayev considers that a meeting at the presidential level cannot be a mere formality. "However the leaders agreed to meet under the pressure of the international community," he said.
As for the OSCE MG's proposals, they are suitable from the standpoint of Europeans but neither Armenia nor Azerbaijan is ready for them. The sides cannot agree on the most important item - the status of Nagorno Karabakh Agayev said, reports Echo newspaper.
