Heritage party secretary Larisa Alaverdyan slammed the Jan. 25 meeting between Armenian, Azerbaijani and Russian Presidents as unbalanced.

“Presidential meetings without Artsakh leader’s participation can’t be part of talks. I did not have any expectations for the meeting,” she said during a joint news conference with RPA member Hovhannes Sahakyan.

Mr. Sahakyan, for his part, estimated the meeting as positive. “It’s an achievement that Artsakh’s participation in talks was considered by the Presidents,” he said.
