Azerbaijan wants to frustrate Karabakh talks

Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s refusal to attend the informal summit of CIS leaders in Moscow as well as unwillingness of Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov to meet with the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs appear as an attempt to screen unreadiness to resolve the Karabakh problem peacefully, according to Aram Safaryan, secretary of Prosperous Armenia parliamentary group.

“Turkish and Azeri propaganda machines have united to work out a large-scale anti-Armenian policy. As a matter of fact, this policy aims to frustrate the ongoing Karabakh talks. The current stage of negotiations requires de jure recognition of Nagorno Karabakh, a move Azerbaijan is not ready to make,” Mr. Safaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

“Armenia should be prepared for more violent propaganda attacks,” he said.
