May 7 meeting - successive round of destructive talks
The May 7 meeting between Azerbashi and Armenian President will be the successive round of destructive talks, expert-analyst David Davtyan said. According to the analyst, such prognosis is first of all conditioned by Baku's efforts to act beyond Minsk format in an attempt to achieve Islamic League's support in having Azerbaijan's resolution passed by UN.
"Baku has recently made active steps towards having the issue considered by UN Security Council. In the meantime, it persists in its bellicose rhetoric and utopian theory on territorial integrity. Considering that the document on table is Madrid Principles which is no longer valid for current political situation, the meeting will bear a formal character."

In view of United States increasing activeness, Yerevan is simply obliged set an ultimatum for involving NKR in talks as a de-facto independent state. In this way, Armenia will become an OSCE MG member state like Turkey, while conflicting parties - NKR and Armenia, will conduct talks in the above-mentioned format. Such state of things is currently deemed as more logical, as it conforms to our national interests and the international principle of self-determination, as enshrined in Helsinki document. The current situation is absolutely absurd, since Turkey supports Baku while Armenia and NKR act as a single party. Considering the arguments above, the meeting is likely to become the successive fata morgana," Analitika.at.ua reports, quoting Mr. Davtyan.
