"The Moscow declaration once again fixed Russia's position in
the Caucasus region, but it was not resulting from the logics of
the conflict settlement", said Kiro Manoyan, head of the Central
office of Ay Data for political issues noting that other countries,
including Turkey will continue taking imitative steps within the next
few months aimed at creating appearance of a positive achievement in
the resolution of the Karabakh issue.
"In fact, these steps may promote improvement of relations between
Armenia and Turkey and Armenia and Azerbaijan, but the Karabakh issue
will not be settled", said Manoyan.
Commenting on the declaration signing, Manoyan said definite powers
started the process of the Karabakh conflict settlement in favor of
their own interests.
"The declaration has its minuses and pluses. The greatest minus
is that Karabakh is involved into the negotiation process, but the
declaration is not undersigned by a Karabakh representative", said
Manoyan noting that the reason for concerns is also the reference in
the declaration to the Madrid proposals in the framework of the OSCE
Minsk Group, as they raise the issue of return of the liberated lands.
Yet, he considers that the declaration has its advantages, fixing that
the conflict will be settled only by a political way and it does not
mention the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
"Unfortunately, this is just a declaration, not a contract and,
therefore, it does not contain any binding mechanisms. The settlement
of the issue with participation of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs is
also important, as it does not imply involvement of other forces in
the negotiation process", said Manoyan.
According to him, if the attempts "to interfere" with the conflict
resolution continue, no progress will be fixed in the Karabakh issue.
"It will be possible to settle the issue, if the conflict sides,
including Karabakh, sign a contract on the peaceful resolution of the
conflict and use due mechanisms, ensuring observance of paragraphs
of the agreement", said Manoyan.
