Next Sargsyan-Aliyev Meeting Held Upon Hillary Clinton, Ahmet Davutolgu’s Initiative: Al Jazeera

“The war between Armenians and Azeris is not just a local conflict, well taken advantage of from a political standpoint, but also a matter controlled and manipulated by super-powers,” reported Al Jazeera in its television report on the South Caucasus as a hot conflict zone.

Baku has repeatedly stated that it is not satisfied with the work of the [OSCE Minsk Group] co-chairs. Meanwhile, Russia risks losing its position in the region, although [Russian President] Dmitry Medvedev still entices [Azerbaijani President] Ilham Aliyev to fruitless meetings and discussions. But the head of Azerbaijan, who inherited political sense from his father, knows that these meetings won’t lead to anything and are just a waste of time. Perhaps, beginning in 2012, the US will take on the initiative, and the next meeting of the presidents will be held upon the initiative of [US State Secretary] Hillary Clinton and Turkish diplomat [and the country’s foreign minister Ahmet] Davutoglu. In case of that meeting fails, Baku will seriously consider solving the conflict by force. It is known that during his recent visit to Turkey, Aliyev discussed the matter with [Turkish] Prime Minister [Recep Tayyip] Erdogan. 2012 will be a decisive year for the whole region,” concluded the TV channel.
