"If there is an internal struggle for power in the country, then any information that a party opposing the government can enlist the support of external forces and interfere in this process has its own special influence," Kocharian said.

Nevertheless, he urged to draw attention to the fact that mediators will speak, as Armenia and Azerbaijan are talking about, and then compare what has been said.
