There will be no progress in Karabakh talks before presidential
elections in Azerbaijan and United States, according to Kiro Manoyan,
ARF Dashnaktsutyun Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Director.
"Azerbaijan will not demonstrate political will.
Besides, the United States, one of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair
countries, is on the threshold of presidential election too. It makes
no sense to expect progress unless new administration is formed," Mr.
Manoyan said.
"It’s natural however that the mediators will work for continuation
of talks irrelative of election processes," he added.
Armenia should put an end to Azerbaijan’s bellicose statements,
according to him.
"The February presidential election damaged Armenia’s international
image. Meanwhile possible violations in Azerbaijan will be overlooked
due to the country’s oil resources. But it doesn’t mean that the
Karabakh problem will be resolved in favor of Azerbaijan," Mr.
