/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Despite regular meetings between RA and Azeri
presidents and their optimistic statements, the events around NKR
conflict settlement are taking a destructive turn," political observer,
Head of Analitika.at.ua Information – Analytical Center Marat Hakobyan
told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
According to him, Ankara is using negotiations on Armenian -Turkish
border opening as a pretext to interfere in NKR conflict settlement
issue, and Azeri government is trying to form so-called shadow NKR
government, demanding participation in negotiation process which is
an overt challenge.
"This farce discredits the whole negotiation process. Yerevan’s
recognition of NKR independence should become a logical development
of eves, after which negotiations on NKR conflict settlement should
b continued. The necessity to acknowledge NKR independence has
become vital upon Azeri government’s creation of so-called shadow
NKR government.
Further delay in NKR independence acknowledgement could come at a
cost for both Yerevan and Stepanakert.
Armenia has to realistically assess the inadequacy of Baku’s position
in NKR independence recognition and make the opponents fact the
irreversibility of events with a 15 years’ history," Hakobyan
emphasized.
