His statement is plainly worded,” Shavarsh Kocharyan said at a news conference. Asked about the possibility of external pressures, the official dismissed such a plan. “Any round of negotiations sees the mediators try to reach a common ground between the parties. And that means they are required to accept certain concessions to approximate approaches. It’s absolutely logical in any negotiation process,” he added.
