settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are part of the efforts
by the mediators, and the recent developments in the Armenian-Turkish
relations arte most likely to have their impact on the Nagorno-Karabakh
peace process.
"I think Russia is one of the states most interested in the settlement
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict - after Armenia and Azerbaijan,
of course," Gusman said. Russia is really taking steps evidencing it
wants to be an honest mediator in the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process.
However, whatever efforts Moscow and other mediators exert, the
resolution of the conflict is in the hands of the two nations' leaders,
Gusman said.
"If we speak of Russia's role in supporting Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan in this difficult matter of concessions, a question may
arise: is this support sufficient compared with the discontent such
concessions may cause inside Armenia?" Gusman said.
