U.S. caused Artsakh’s isolation from settlement talks – expert![]() May 29, 2013 - 21:18 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Artsakh’s isolation from the Karabakh conflict settlement talks was dictated by the superpowers, a political analyst believes. As Srgey Shakaryants told PanARMENIAN.Net the demands above had never been set while only Russia and France co-chaired the OSCE Minsk Group. Karabakh was isolated from talks in 1996, with the demand having been posed by the U.S., while Armenia yielded, unable or unwilling to oppose Washington. “Artsakh will become involved in settlement talks when the U.S. stops secretly supporting Azerbaijan and frees itself of Turkey’s influence,” the expert said. ![]() ![]() Grigoryan added that the situation around the world and particularly in the region is very difficult. The Armenian Defense Ministry has denied Azerbaijan's accusations of violating the ceasefire. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took to social media to thank his Lithuanian counterpart for the contribution.
