Aram Sarkisian: "Armenia has lost the information war with Azerbaijan"

"The reason why the Rambouillet negotiations on the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict failed to reach any agreement is that Armenia has lost the information war with Azerbaijan," said Leader of Armenia Democratic Party, member of Justice Opposition alliance Aram Sarkisian.

"Armenia's stance was that if Azerbaijan recognizes the independence of Nagorno Karabakh, Yerevan will be ready to withdraw its troops from the territories and ensure sending the refugees back to their native homes, and station peacekeepers in Nagorno Karabakh. However, unlike the Key West talks, Armenia has lost initiative regarding the Karabakh issue. Though Azerbaijan was ready to informally recognize Karabakh's independence during the Key West negotiations, there is not such likelihood now," Sarkisian said.

Referring to the current situation in Azerbaijan, Sarkisian said that the situation has sharply changed to better in the country. "It is not only because of oil revenues but also careful foreign policy pursued in the country. Armenia's policy of compromises is related to this factor. It should be born in mind that Azerbaijan and Armenia remarkably depend on foreign political forces," the party leader said, APA informs.
