Nalbandian made the statement at a joint press conference
with the visiting Latvian foreign minister, Edgars Rinkevics, on Thursday when
responding to a media question on the idea “recently floated” in Azerbaijan
concerning a new “roadmap” for the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement.
Such views in Azerbaijan are likely to have followed the
latest attempt by international brokers to restart the Armenian-Azerbaijan
peace talks that stalled last summer.
The Karabakh negotiation process came to a standstill
after a series of deadly border skirmishes and especially in the wake of the
controversial pardoning in Azerbaijan of Ramil Safarov, a convicted killer of
an Armenian serviceman who was handed over to Baku by Hungary more than two
months ago.
Speaking at the press conference Foreign Minister
Nalbandian brushed aside the assumptions that a new “roadmap” implying a phased
solution could help the process. He said he had the impression that “the
authors of this proposal have stuck on the information level typical of the
1990s.”
“Seventeen years have passed since 1995, the train has
left the station, but some in Azerbaijan are still standing on the platform,”
said the top Armenian diplomat, speaking figuratively about the history of the
peace process.
He stressed that a “roadmap” regarding some of the key
principles of conflict settlement had already been presented to the sides by
the international community.
“But we couldn’t make progress at the Kazan summit as
Azerbaijan rejected these proposals,” charged Nalbandian, referring to a set of
basic principles that Armenia believes are anchored on the combination of the
right of Karabakh Armenians to self-determination, Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity
and the nonuse of force or threat of force in resolving the conflict.
“I don’t think that the idea of the Azerbaijani side
regarding a new roadmap may be serious, especially when the matter concerns a
roadmap that emerged 17 years ago,” Nalbandian said.
The Armenian foreign minister also referred to the
statements issued by the leaders of the Minsk Group co-chair countries from the
recent G8 and G20 summits urging the parties to the conflict to make progress
towards agreeing on the basic principles of Karabakh peace.

They are left for having no choice .
The way Azeris approach to this particular matter is not constructive and this question is left not to be resolved.They think they may get Artsakh/Karabagh back by war and they dream about it.
The rest of the world is out there to sell more weapons to them only to get their fare shares from the petro dollars by knowing that Azeris are not even capable to use them as they don't even have the basic skills to use thier fancy expensive labtops.(the latest fiasko ,LOL)
The only thing they manage is to talk like an old lady with a fallen jow and keep their nation deaf and blind while they keep their chairs occupied as dictators but mot an elected ones with their people's own will.They transfer the power from dad to the son ,that's all they know about democracy and their so-called big brothers in minor Asia have not succeeded to jump to a higher class about it either.
Their people are suffering as refugees in the graeter Azerbeidjan and don't even have any dreams of seeing any pennies coming from their so -called Government=dictatorship.
Armenians in Armenia are also suffering for being unemployed but atleast they know better not to full themselfs for expecting more from their government with dignity,,,that is called quality not slavery.
Azeris should learn some of that dignity as well because they really need it.
