Shavarsh Kocharyan: aim of intermediaries at this stage is not to allow repeat of military actions
ArmInfo. OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs today are aimed not so much at reaching an agreement on Karabakh settlement issue, as not to allow the resumption of hostilities at the contact line. Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan stated in an interview with journalists after the Government meeting on August 10. According to him, the intermediaries at this stage are very well aware that it is impossible to talk about progress in the negotiation process until Baku's policy regarding the resolution of the Karabakh conflict changes. According to the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Republic of Armenia, Azerbaijan has never refused a military solution to the conflict and a policy of blackmail. "Today's relative calm on the line of contact does not mean that we should lose our vigilance because Azerbaijan is not committed to a peaceful solution to the problem," Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan stated.
