YEREVAN. – Specifying as to what concessions the Armenian side will make under these conditions, when the Azerbaijani side never speaks about its concessions, is a gross tactical and strategic error.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan told the aforementioned to reporters, after Thursday’s Cabinet session.

In his words, speaking about such matters now is defeatism, since Azerbaijan has never made any statements yet regarding its concessions to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

“When Baku will speak [about its] concessions, it will be possible to speak also about their reciprocal nature,” stressed Kocharyan.

Reflecting on the Karabakh negotiation process, the deputy FM noted that the Armenian parties to this conflict say they are ready for mutual concessions.

“But as long as there is no [corresponding] statement by Azerbaijan; moreover, as long as their position is becoming tougher, speaking about concessions, in my view, is meaningless,” concluded Shavarsh Kocharyan.
