YEREVAN.- The Kazan meeting between Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents will mark the end of current stage of Karabakh talks, said head of Armenia’s Democratic Party Aram Sargsyan.

It will be senseless to continue the talks unless the sides reach agreement, he told journalists on Thursday. The politician is confident that the presidents will not reach consensus as the sides have diametrically opposite positions on Karabakh conflict settlement.

Sargsyan considers political solution to the conflict is impossible. It must be solved legally first, therefore Yerevan should recognize independence of Nagorno-Karabakh.

As regards bellicose statements voiced by Baku, the leader of Democratic Party says it is just blackmail as Aliyev clan will hardly risk losing wealth by unleashing an unpredictable war.

“Aliyev chose other strategy: he unleashed a cold war,” said Sargsyan.
