I think there is no and can’t be any progress because nothing has changed in Azerbaijan in order for progress to be made. This is what head of the Bright Armenia faction of the National Assembly Edmon Marukyan told journalists today, touching upon the meeting of the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Armenia and Azerbaijan.

“On the contrary, Azerbaijan is escalating the situation because of the upcoming elections,” he emphasized.

When told that the foreign ministers have agreed to meet again early next year, Marukyan said the following: “They’ll meet in January and other months of the year. Bright Armenia Party has always said it is better to meet than open fire at each other. They need to maintain ties and work on removing snipers from the frontline and weaken the tension.”
