Armenian analyst and expert on U.S. foreign policy Suren Sargsyan on Wednesday commented on the latest statement of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs dealing with the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, stating it contains an “unprecedented number of messages and subtexts”.
In a public post on Facebook, the analyst said the statement opens a “new chapter” in the settlement of the conflict with the old format.
“1. One thing is obvious now: a new chapter opens with adherence to the old format, I continue to insist that this format is the most acceptable for Armenia and Artsakh. Any change in this format will lead to Turkey’s direct intrusion as a party. Obviously, the co-chairs do not want it either.
- It marks a fresh start for Armenia’s “dead but not buried” diplomacy and opens up a new front to work on.
-
We record incomparably worse starting conditions than we had.
-
We record the lack of a direct reference to the right of nations to self-determination.
-
We record that the current authorities will fail these negotiations as well (just like everything in the past 3 years) and must think about our further steps.
-
And most importantly, “the Co-Chairs stress that special attention should be paid to the achievement of a final comprehensive and sustainable settlement on the basis of the elements and principles well-known to the sides”, which means the claims of [Azerbaijani President Ilham] Aliyev that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has already been settled are denied by the co-chairs,” Sargsyan wrote.
