YEREVAN.-The statement by Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mamedyarov that an agreement on deployment of peacekeepers in the Karabakh zone has already reached is an original interpretation of reality by Baku, Richard Giragosian, expert at “Caucasus” analytical institute told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

According to the expert, the statement aims to put pressure on the Armenian side prior to the meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents in Kazan.

He stressed that the Armenian side was absolutely right not to respond to this statement, since official Yerevan’s response could lead to even greater spark of Baku’s imagination. “Baku’s statements suggest that very few people, say 12 people, are familiar with the real situation on the negotiation process over Karabakh conflict. For this reason, Baku makes such fantastic statements,” Giragosian stressed.
