AZERBAIJAN WORKS FOR SHIFT IN KARABAKH TALKS FORMAT
- Azerbaijan works for a shift in the format of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement talks, ARF Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Director Kiro Manoyan said. "Adoption of the Azerbaijani resolution by the UN General Assembly means that this country is planning to renounce the MG format and to resolve the Karabakh problem by use of force. In my opinion, it's a disadvantageous scenario," Manoyan said. For his part, political scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan said a format of ‘3+3+1' can be applied. "This will be Armenia, NKR and Azerbaijan plus three OSCE co-chair states plus Iran. Baku will hardly agree, since it would like to have Turkey as a Minsk Group co-chair However, being an interested party, Turkey has no right to join the process," the Armenian expert said.
