The latest developments in Karabakh process arouse concerns, according to director of Akunk analytical center Ruben Hakobyan.

“Turkey and Azerbaijan have set themselves a task to change the status quo in the region on the basis of Madrid Principles. It’s not ruled out that approximating positions with Ankara and Baku, Russia will exert leverage on Armenia in the Karabakh issue,” he told reporters on May 18.

“There is an impression that Armenia was pushed out of all processes. The OSCE Co-chairing countries can reach an agreement on Karabakh with Turkey and Azerbaijan and then just impose it on Armenia. So, now, the number one task for Yerevan is to isolate Turkey from the Karabakh process,” Hakobyan said.

He also stressed the necessity of NKR re-engagement in talks and recognition of its independence by Armenia.
