"A spoken word is not a sparrow. Once it flies out, you can't
catch it" means that words are very important and it is necessary
to realize what you say.
In Armenia they deny in every possible way the obvious - the
inevitability of full restoration of Azerbaijan's territorial
integrity. It is terrible for the Armenian side to admit to itself
that the myth that they have lived for decades may finally and
irrevocably burst.
So far for Armenia it is sixth time to sit at the negotiation
table to discuss the same issues with Azerbaijan with the
participation of Charles Michel, the President of the EU
Council.
It is another fresh meeting taking place in Brussels to achieve
results on the five main principles put forward by Azerbaijani side
that is powerful and perseverant.
In the last meeting, Armenian authority demonstratively
expressed its position towards recognizing Azerbaijan's territory
despite some of his entourages later tried to distort Pashinyan's
acknowledgment by bringing illogical arguments in the Armenian
parliament.
"Despite the fact that they constantly make some contradictory
statements, and Pashinyan assents to some nationalists and public
opinion, he really wants to stall at somewhere," Russian financial
analyst Alexander Razuvaev said in his comments on
Azerbaijan-Armenia peace negotiations for Azernews .
"I think that with a high probability, Armenia will officially
recognize Karabakh, as a single entity and as part of Azerbaijan
without any pretension by the end of the year, because it is
impossible to oppose anything, the war was lost by Armenia three
years ago, and accordingly it is better to recognize the reality,"
the expert added.
Having discussed the current economic situation in Armenia,
Russian analyst said that Yerevan is better to normalize relations
with its neighbors, which will give impetus and growth to the
economy. "First of all, I must say that Armenia was more hopeful of
support from France, the diaspora, and some forces in the West such
as US Congress and elsewhere, but how to say, it did not go further
than verbal statements, no one fought and will fight for them.
Therefore, I think willy-nilly Armenia will come to peace agreement
with Azerbaijan as it did in November 2020. The only thing is the
time which is unpredictable whether now or by the end of this
year," Razuvayev emphasised.
Azerbaijani expert Anar Hasanov's comments on the issues also
concurred the views expressed by Alexander Razuvayev, saying that
Armenia had been doing everything to freeze the conflict for many
years. Even some forces have been eager to prolong this in the
South Caucasus for some dirty purposes.
"The thing is that some forces in the world are also interested
in this, taking advantage of the Armenian factor to influence
Azerbaijan. So, in this sense, the general policy of the forces
that are interested in the region, coincide with the interests of
the Armenian government as well. And all of Pashinyan's actions are
aimed at freezing this conflict, and in parallel that this conflict
would have international resonance. All events and agendas related
to the region, had international resonance. Based on these two
goals, the Armenian Minister makes statements. Of course, we should
not exclude the internal audience," the political analyst said.
According to the Russian expert, Russia's position in regard to
peace negotiation and in terms of economy is clear. Razuvayev said
that opening all the transport routes and communications is vitally
important for his country.
"Developing economy is important for Russia now. Besides, for
Russia the North-South corridor through Azerbaijan, trade with Iran
is a priority, and I would say even talks on the North-South
corridor is much more important than elements on the agenda of
negotiations, so naturally Russia will go for any talks on this,"
A.Razuvayev underlined.
