Head of the Science Department of the Caucasus Institute, political analyst Sergey Minasyan said that Azerbaijan understands that the time works against it, while Armenia-NKR-Azerbaijan triangle prevents Baku from changing the status quo.

Baku is trying to oppose the triangle through a new format of the “Azerbaijani community of Nagorno Karabakh,” Minasyan told a press conference in Yerevan.

“Although, it does not mean that Karabakh will become a party to negotiations in the near future, certain changes are already observed,” the expert said.

In addition, Minasyan stressed that the recent statement issued by the Presidents of the OSCE Minsk Group’s Co-Chair countries de-facto mentions about the people of NKR for the first time ever.

“The statement is more advantageous for Armenia. However, the best thing to do now is to continue talks,” Minasyan concluded.
