Major problem regarding settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is
that Armenia does not make required concessions which complicates
negotiating process, said research assistant of International Security
Program and research director on Caspian studies project in the Belfer
center Brenda Shaffer.
She said that bilateral visits of Armenia-Azerbaijan intellectuals to
Nagorno-Karabakh are important. "But people fail to solve this problem
without support of great powers. I mean countries with interests in
the region. They must have impact on Armenia. But they have not made
it yet," Shaffer said.
"By laying all responsibility on sides of conflict great powers even
more freeze negotiation process," the expert said.
For example, Shaffer said Russia can impact on Armenia in exchange
for peace with Azerbaijan.
"But Shaffer does not see any active actions in this sphere. Meetings
of presidents in Russia are organized to create vision that there is
any action."
