Any attempt to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in a military
way will affect the international situation, the former Russian
co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Vladimir Kazimirov stated during a
Yerevan-Moscow space bridge.
The development of Russian-Turkish relations is not an obstacle to
the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process. Rather, to an extent, it even
contributes to a peaceful settlement. He pointed out that, unlike Baku,
Ankara is against a military settlement of the conflict.
Kazimirov said that the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process and
Armenia-Turkey normalization are impossible to link. According to him,
Turkey should first of all normalize its relations with Armenia and
"make moral and political capital" before the international community
to use it for settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
As regards the Armenian-Azerbaijani-Russian presidential meeting
scheduled for next week, Kazimirov does not rule out some progress in
the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process. "I would not say that the meeting
will result in any breakthrough," Kazimirov said.
