"The value of this decision is only paper and ink that were used to prepare this document," Polukhov said. "But at the same time Armenia's attempts to introduce separatist formation as an independent state by taking such steps and inviting various foreign visitors to the occupied territories are surprising," he added.
Polukhov said apparently still there are forces in the political establishment of Armenia that are trying to destabilize the situation instead of continuing the constructive dialogue by seeking to reach a comprehensive peace in the region.
The Armenian political elite must understand that this kind of ridiculous steps can lead to serious consequences, Polukhov stressed.
"Experience shows that foreigners, invited by the Armenian side to the Nagorno-Karabakh, usually refuse if they learn about the situation before the trip. The fact on the French actor Gerard Depardieu and Russian singer Katya Lel, who acknowledged that were brought to the Nagorno-Karabakh by fraud, can serve as a striking example," Polukhov said.
The Armenian side must realize that such attempts can in no way promote a lasting peace in the region and hampers the constructive negotiation process.
