Baku / 25.01.19 / Turan: Recently, the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan meet regularly and hold discussions for hours. This suggests that serious discussions are taking place - bargaining is underway around a specific project that is on the negotiating table, Russian political scientist Stanislav Tarasov told the Armenian newspaper 168 Zham.
Commenting on the last meeting of Pashinyan-Aliyev in Davos, he noted that Aliyev was "extremely cheerful, and Pashinyan was depressed, because Aliyev was winning this game. Pashinyan stated that Artsakh should become a party to the negotiations, but no steps were taken in this direction."
"Armenian political scientists and experts are romantics if they think that nothing can be decided without Karabakh. It is being decided, as you can see," he noted.
The political analyst also said that in June Pashinyan and Aliyev will sign an agreement on Karabakh, according to which the Armenian side will be forced to cede several regions in the context of indirect compromises.
After that, the Turkish parliament will return to the Armenian-Turkish protocols and ratify them, diplomatic relations will be restored, and a package draft settlement will appear, Tarasov said. -02D-
