The Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers’ upcoming meeting in Paris is aimed at preparing a breeding ground for a new presidential summit, according to Alexander Manasyan, a political analyst.

“No landmark should be expected of this meeting. But whatever the case, these meetings are not likely address the pro-Armenian aspect of the issue,” he told a news conference on Monday.
 

Speaking of the recent acts of sabotage on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border, the expert said that Azerbaijan is trying in this manner to exert pressures upon the Armenian authorities and world community.

“I do not attach much importance to those attacks. What poses more hazards is Azerbaijan's efforts to fix the idea that it has the right to seize its territory by using of force. We have to do all our best to make it clear to the world community that no laws allow Azerbaijan to demand a single inch of land,” he said.
 

Asked whether the scheduled military exercises could fit within the logic of a possible war plan he said: “We must always be prepared for a war. Generally, that’s the common rule for all the countries worldwide given the existing competition. Peace is good, but we must never forget about war.”
