The statement by the Armenian Foreign Ministry that his country accepts the Madrid principles would be interesting if voiced at Nalbandian's meeting with the Minsk Group co-chairs who put the final document of the updated Madrid principles on the table.
But Nalbandian said this at the session of the parliament in a specific manner which shows that the statement is for inner consumption", said political scientist Rasim Musabeyov.The Armenian FM did not give a response that could satisfy the co-chairs, the political scientist said.
'There is an important difference between the Madrid principles and updated Madrid principles, otherwise, the negotiations would have not been held in the past three years.
Foreign ministers and presidents of the two countries have met ten times, making positions of Azerbaijan and Armenian closer which finally transformed into the updated Madrid principles. And now Armenians offer to return to the negotiation situation of three years ago. This is the indirect hampering of the negotiation process', said Musabeyov.
