Armenia and Azerbaijan got a time-out at the OSCE Summit in Astana because of global disagreements between the superpowers, Chairman of the Heritage parliamentary faction Styepa Safaryan stated in Parliament.

He pointed out a step forward in implementing the Madrid principles and points of the L’Aquila agreement.

According to Safaryan, the principles are against the Armenian side’s interests, as they grant Nagorno-Karabakh an enclave status, with Azerbaijan to allow its status to be determined in the future. “The international community’s next step will be forcing Yerevan into signing and implementing these principles with Baku,” Safaryan said.
