/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The settlement of Karabakh conflict by use of force
will lead to an outflow of investments from Azerbaijan, according to
CIS Institute Director Konstantin Zatulin.
"Should Azerbaijani leadership resort to force to regain control over
the 'Armenian-occupied' territories, it will be hardly possible to
predict the outcome of hostilities. Serious economic problems will be
the minimum we can anticipate. Anyway, negotiations are better than
war. They help maintain confidence and inspire hope for a peaceful
resolution," Zatulin said, not ruling out possibility that Russia,
United States and European Union will impose their conditions on
Yerevan and Baku in the end.
"But evidently the conflicting parties will agree to conditions of
superpowers while the regional actors - Turkey and Iran - will refrain
from voicing their 'special interests'," VOA News quotes the expert
as saying.
The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan broke out in
1988 as result of the ethnic cleansing the latter launched in the
final years of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from
1991 to 1994. Since the ceasefire in 1994, sealed by Armenia, Nagorno
Karabakh and Azerbaijan, most of Nagorno Karabakh and several regions
of Azerbaijan around it (the security zone) remain under the control
of NKR defense army. Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding peace talks
mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group up till now.
