One should not expect results from negotiations at Berlin platform - former Defense Minister
ArmInfo. In a global sense, one should not expect results from the negotiations that took place. A
similar opinion was expressed during a briefing on March 1 by chairman of the "Armenia" opposition bloc, former Minister of Defense of the Republic of Armenia Seyran Ohanyan, commenting on the Armenian-Azerbaijani negotiations initiated by Germany.
He noted that Armenia has friendly countries on the western side, but
none of them have much capacity to assist, with the exception of a
fragmented observation mission.
Ohanyan recalled that the Azerbaijani authorities constantly insist
that they do not need intermediaries. According to the oppositionist,
this indicates their intention to independently put pressure on the
government of our country. "They very wisely and cunningly use both
Western and post-Soviet platforms in order to promote their
interests," he emphasized.
At the same time, the head of the bloc noted that in any case,
negotiations are more acceptable than military operations. In this
context, he recalled the sad experience when the negotiation process
in 2018 failed, and this was followed by the war of 2020. "In this
sense, any contacts between the parties are extremely important," he
emphasized.
