Nagorno-Karabakh invites himself does in the peace negotiations?

“The trilateral presidential meeting in Sochi evidences that despite the bellicose statements of Azerbaijan, the process of settlement of the Karabakh issue continues at the bargaining table,” Republican MP Mkrtich Minasyan told a press conference today. According to him, the fact that Nagorno Karabakh was mentioned as a party to the talks in the preamble to the document was an important achievement.

Mkrtich Minasyan doesn’t tie the recent activeness in the Karabakh settlement process to the Armenian-Turkish relations. “Despite some internal link, the Armenian-Turkish and the Armenian-Azerbaijani issues are separate processes,” he said.

The Republican MP hopes that there will be some clarity in the Armenian-Turkish relations in March. “The one, who has closed the border, will open it, and Armenia will only benefit from it,” he said.

President of the People’s Party Tigran Karapetyan considers that “no one wants to see the Karabakh issue solved today.”
