The ongoing processes on the normalization of Karabakh, as well as the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations have moved to the sphere of the most brutal confrontation between Russia and the West. Political scientist Vigen Hakobyan told this to Armenian News-NEWS.am, commenting on the recent statements by Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian foreign ministry.

According to him, despite all the disagreements and conflicts, the format of the OSCE Minsk Group has remained a format of cooperation for decades.

“It was an exceptional format. Now the logic of this confrontation has moved to the sphere of normalization of Armenian-Azerbaijani relations. It should also be noted that the Minsk Group truly does not exist de facto [anymore]. De jure, of course, it exists, but de facto practically does not exist; and we see that,” said Hakobyan.

The political scientist added that now each country co-chairing the OSCE Minsk Group is trying to “pull” the “blanket” on itself.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
