YEREVAN. – Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov’s statement that the parties to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict reached an agreement on deployment of peacekeeping forces in conflict zone testifies to the fact that Baku is trying to lift certain elements of the talks out of the context, Director of the “Caucasus” Institute Sergey Minasyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

He stressed that Baku makes a show of those elements which are in Azerbaijan’s interest, while it keeps silence about other issues, particularly the determination of Karabakh’s status quo.

“If Mammadyarov is speaking of peacekeeping forces, it means consensus is also reached on other issues, but Baku prefers to keep silence about it,” Minasyan noted.

In his turn, political analyst Yervand Bozoyan said all issues in Karabakh conflict resolution are in one package and it is impossible to separate one element from the other. Meanwhile, he emphasized that deployment of peacekeeping forces in Karabakh conflicts with the Armenian sides’ interests
