Armenia-Turkey rapprochement tendency raises serious concerns in Baku
Obviously, recent aggressive statement of Azeri President is an attempt to pressure Armenia and blackmail international mediators. Azerbaijan's actions are explained by the fact that Munich meeting is the first one after protocol signing ceremony in Zurich, NKR Foreign Policy and Security Social Council Chairman Masis Mailyan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

"Armenia-Turkey rapprochement tendency, in isolation from NKR conflict settlement, raises serious concerns in Baku. Also, the statement on withdrawing from negotiation process was voiced during the meeting with South Artsakh settlers. I believe Armenia has to continue talks, trying to achieve trilateral negotiation format and developing effective principles for conflict settlement. Should Azerbaijan dislike the results of consultations, it will have to withdraw from the process, assuming full responsibility for the decision taken," Mailyan emphasized.
