`The rapid settlement of the ethnic conflicts in the South Caucasus is
in the interests of the United States, because these are a peculiar
resource for the American presence in the region and achievement of
different aims,' said political expert Igor Muradyan during the
international seminar in Sochi.
According to him, the United States pursues a line of recognition of
the independence of NKR, but they will take their time in implementing
it, first defining the model of legitimacy of the given subject and
other issues. `It is surprising that by adopting such a decision
Washington used the leverage to direct the foreign policy of Armenia.
On the other hand, by affirming the fact of independence of Nagorno
Karabakh, the Americans are opposing the wish and opportunity to
become engaged in home political issues and influence the purely
internal affairs of Armenia,' said Igor Muradyan.
For its part, Igor Muradyan said, the European Union is against
founding new countries in the South Caucasus. `We are hopeful that
Russia will support the American `conspiracy' this time, but
apparently Russia does not have other way out than to support the
stance of the EU,' thinks the Armenian political expert. According to
him, there is a certain community of analysts who would not allow `the
recognition of Nagorno Karabakh.'
