Despite visual solidarity, OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs do not have consolidated approach to Karabakh conflict settlement, according to political analyst Yervand Bozoyan .

“For example, the consolidated approach was demonstrated on the Balkans,” Bozoyan told a press conference in Yerevan.

The expert stressed that Russia attempts to gain progress in talks, otherwise the mediatory mission will be transmitted to U.S. In this respect, he assumed that even if Russia fails to push the parties to sign fundamental principles, another interim agreement will be signed.

As regards the results of the Kazan meeting, according to the political expert, expectations from it were too overrated and blown-up.

Bozoyan thinks that it was connected with the fact that Russia was confident that it will succeed to push Armenia and Azerbaijan to sign the agreement on the fundamental principles of the conflict settlement.

The summit between Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia in Kazan on June 24 completed without an agreement on basic principles of Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement. “The countries’ leaders registered mutual understanding on a range of problems, the resolution of which boosts creation of conditions for approving main principles. The meeting participants considered the course of works carried out with the aim of coordination of the project with basic principles,” according to the statement. The Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan expressed gratitude to the Russian, French and U.S. leaders, the OSCE Minsk group co-chairs, for ‘their constant attention to Nagorno-Karabakh problem’ and highly praised personal efforts of the Russian President in support of agreements.

Later on Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbanian noted that the June 24 meeting was not a breakthrough, as Azerbaijan proved unready to accept the final version of the basic principles suggested by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs. Instead, the Azerbaijani leader attempted to impose 10 new proposals, thus precluding the possibility of any agreement on the issue,” he added.
