During the negotiation process on the Karabakh conflict, the OSCE
Minks Group co-chairs are engaged in the presentation of interests of
their own countries, political scientist Sergey Shakarian expressed
an opinion at the June 30 press conference. According to him, it is
especially the U.S. that hinders the normal process of negotiations
today, as resolution of the South Caucasian conflicts is not to
its advantage. "In general, all superpowers need the existence of
conflicts," S. Shakarian noted, adding that the U.S. needs an unstable
sitiation in the region in order to weaken Iran's positions.
Speaking about the posture of the U.S. co-chair Matthew Bryza, the
political scientist said that M. Bryza "is trying intentionally to
distort the opinions of both Armenian and Azerbaijani societies". As
regards the French co-chair Bernard Fassier, according to S. Shakarian,
it was quite unexpected to him that B. Fassier attended a military
parade in Azerbaijan, during which the the country's president made
bellicose statements. "All the co-chairs can be accused of at least
inconsistency," S. Shakarian stated.
By his forecast, one should not expect any serious results from the
negotiation process by late 2008, as presidential elections will be
held in Azerbaijan, while "the Bush administration is unable to go
down in history as a conflict-resolving administration". In the words
of the political scientist, the possibility of the Karabakh problem's
solution will increase when someone else replaces George Bush.
