“Armenian must present demands to the Minsk Group” (video)
Stepan Grigoryan, Chairman of the Analytical Center on Globalization and Regional Cooperation, is surprised why the forensic-medical examination of the bodies of Armenian soldiers handed over by the Azerbaijani side is carried out only by the experts from the Armenian side. Mr Grigoryan spoke about it today during the press conference, noting that the experts of the international organizations must also take part in it. “I call on our authorities to immediately invite the experts from the relevant bodies of the co-chair countries. Those actions must be carried out together with them. Tomorrow Azerbaijan may question everything,” he noted, adding that Azerbaijan’s violence against our soldiers and civilians must be conveyed to the international community by presenting at the UNO and other international organizations. As for the resumption of the negotiations, Mr Grigoryan says that Armenia must demand from the Minsk Group so that they ensure their offers- removal of snipers from the border and installation of monitoring equipment. “Only after that Armenia must sit at the table of negotiations. Before that it is meaningless,” he said. Touching upon the deployment of peacekeepers, Stepan Grigoryan noted that it arouses many questions, “The deployment of peacekeepers is the last point of Madrid principles. Why do we start from the end? It arouses many questions- where they must be deployed and peacekeepers of which country they must be.”
