Deputy Director of Caucasus Institute, political analyst Sergey Minasyan commented on the recent statement of Azerbaijani Foreign Minister.

At his recent New York-hosted meeting with the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs for Karabakh settlement, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov noted that “Armenia rejected the renewed Madrid principles, thus risking to undermine the process of peace negotiations.”

“Azeri FM’s statement is “old news” in negotiation process. Much has changed since,” the expert told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. “Mammadyarov could just as well remind the co-chairs about suggestions made in the 90s or, for example, the Key West Agreement.”

The expert characterized Azeri statement as ill-founded, noting that the recent proposals at Armenia-Russia-Azerbaijan presidential meeting in Kazan were undermined through the fault of Baku.
