The presidents&#8217; meetings have been reinstated, while the matter discussed in Sochi was not related to war prevention measures.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The main agreements were related to increasing monitoring of the Line of Contact,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>In turn, political analyst Sergei Minasyan said he noticed one unique feature of this particular meeting: after the Meindorf Declaration, this is the first, perhaps formal, time when Azerbaijan committed to showing restraint on the contact line.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Minasyan noted, following the Sochi meeting, a new format appeared, as evident in this sentence in the presidents&#8217; Joint Declaration: &#8220;The presidents noted the importance of their regular contacts on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement and agreed to continue them in the present format and further to the activities of the OSCE Minsk Group.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to Minasyan, the Azerbaijani press are restrained in their response, and the seldom-heard statements of Azerbaijan&#8217;s analysts and politicians are called upon to show that nothing is happening.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While Azerbaijan tries to use military rhetoric as an additional resource in negotiations,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Political analyst Sergei Minasyan said he noticed one unique feature of this particular meeting: after the Meindorf Declaration, this is &#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":73444,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tstyn_error":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[11671,11579,13194,23046,23045,23044,10766,10229],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73461"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/epress.am\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
