STEPANAKERT. – The statement by Secretary of State John Kerry on no alternative to peaceful settlement of Karabakh conflict is a message to Azerbaijan, spokesperson for Karabakh president said.

Azerbaijan's conduct has recently become more rude and targeted at building a fascist state, Davit Babayan told Armenian News-NEWS.am commenting on the trilateral meeting held in Wales. Babayan is convinced that the meeting itself is the most significant result.

“Sometimes we have wrong perception of the goals of such meetings. We sometimes think that the result will be a solution, but it is hardly so. The fact that the statement was made by U.S. Secretary of State is very important, since the settlement of Azerbaijan-Karabakh conflict is based on three ideas: first, peaceful settlement that was pointed out; secondly, restoration of full format of talks; thirdly, full perception of the situation by Azerbaijan, in particular, that there can be no return to the past on border issue, and the status of Nagorno-Karabakh,” he emphasized.

It is clear that Azerbaijan can not accept or refuses to accept the last two principles – participation of Nagorno-Karabakh and the imperative of not returning to the past – despite the fact there is simply no alternative.

The trilateral meeting of Secretary of State John Kerry with Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders was held on Thursday evening in Newport.
