YEREVAN. – The Azerbaijani party (i.e., President Ilham Aliyev) does not come to meet with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan on his own initiative, but rather for the OSCE Minsk Group.

Armenia’s opposition Heritage Party National Assembly Faction Secretary Tevan Poghosyan told the above-said to reporters on Friday.

“The Azerbaijan party does not come to this meeting on its own initiative, since there is a format called Minsk Group, and Russia, France and the US have a big role to play there. Naturally, Azerbaijan conditions its interests on relations with these countries. 

“Nonetheless, a meeting between the presidents of the two countries is better than any shots [fired] on the border,” Poghosyan specifically noted.
