There are no grounds to expect sharp changes in the format of the
Karabakh conflict either in the soonest or the middle term perspective,
said Armenian political scientist, director of the Caucasus Alexander
Iskandaryan.
Asked whether CSTO is planning to participate in the resolution of the
Karabakh conflict, he said this organization does not deal with the
resolution of the Karabakh conflict, this is a competence of the OSCE.
Also, the political scientist spoke of the decision of the US
corporation "Millennium Challenges" to cut financial aid to Armenia,
he said the corporation did not stop financial aid to Armenia.
"Suspension of one of its program is undoubtedly connected with the
problems in the democratic development of the country after March
1. The March 1 events had an extremely negative influence on the
image of Armenia. Time and serious efforts are needed to correct this
effect. Strictly speaking, this program was frozen two long ago and
declared only now. The amount is not too significant, about USD 70
mln, but this step of the corporation was painfully accepted in the
country", said he.
