Rasim Musabekov: "Only Putin can convey impulse to Aliyev-Kocharian talks"

In his words, "there is no hint for agreeing upon the language of such a document by the FMs."

"To the contrary, the statements of Aliyev and Kocharian on the eve of the Minsk meeting are not optimistic, as they evidence that it will be hard to bring the positions of the parties to a common point," he remarked.

"Thus, it would be good if upon completion of the meeting the Presidents come out together in order to join journalists and state that the talks were productive. While statements that it was managed to make positions of the parties over disputed elements closer and that the two FMs are later commissioned to hold an additional round of talks, taking into account the progress made during the meeting of state leaders – this should be considered success," Musabekov said.

He also remarked that "though Belarus President Lukashenko hosts the CIS Summit, while Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev is the Chair of the Council of CIS Heads at present, only Russian President Vladimir Putin is capable to convey certain impulse to Aliyev-Kocharian talks."

"Another point is whether he would like to do it and to whose benefit he will direct his influence and what he will demand in exchange," the political scientist stated in exclusive interview to Day.Az.
