'Mutual trust should be created on par with political resolution of
Karabakh conflict', said Armenian political scientist Stepan Grigoryan.
Azerbaijan and Armenia should adopt measures to raise mutual trust to
facilitate the resolution of the Karabakh problem, Stepan Grigoryan
said.
'There is a need to raise trust to improve the strained atmosphere
between us and this process must go on par with the political
resolution of the Karabakh conflict', Grigoryan said speaking at the
third forum on security in the South Caucasus held in Baku.
He called the visit to the Armenian church in Baku to be one of such
positive steps.
'This is also a kind of a measure of trust, upon arriving home I will
certainly speak of what I have seen. This is what is dear to Armenians
and is under protection of the Azerbaijani state. Certainly, such an
attitude speaks in Azerbaijan's favor', he said.
According to the political scientist, raising measures of trust must
occur along with such political steps on the resolution of the Karabakh
conflict as transforming the document on Karabakh at the OSCE summit
in Astana into the framework agreement on the conflict.
Grigoryan also said the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border will
reduce Armenia's dependence on Russia and facilitate the Karabakh
resolution.
'Unfortunately, not everything depends on us, there are external
factors, primarily Russia. For the resolution of existing problems,
there is a need to minimize the influence of external factors, which
means to open the Armenian-Turkish border', he said.
The expert said he sees the future of the South Caucasus countries
in integration with the Euroatlantic space.
