Armenian, Azerbaijani Presidents' meetings can't be viewed as negotiations
Meetings between Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents cannot be viewed as negotiations. They are rather meetings aimed to resume negotiations over the Karabakh conflict settlement, Alexander Manasyan, Doctor of Philosophy and political scientist told a news conference in Yerevan on Wednesday.
Commenting on the recent 4-hour presidential meeting, he said that only Sargsyan and Aliyev can tell what was discussed. He did not rule out, however, that a framework agreement on Karabakh and NKR's engagement in negotiations were in focus.
"The final decision on the problem cannot be taken without NKR," the expert said, adding that the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs seek a simple solution to the Karabakh conflict, not requiring any effort.
