'Probably, most people in Armenia are interested in the settlement
of the conflict.
But there are some politicians coming from Karabakh who want Nagorno
Karabakh to remain the unrecognized "republic"', said Alexey Kuznetsov,
doctor of economic sciences, head of the Center of European Studies
at the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of the
Russian Academy of Science.
According to the political scientist, they do not even need
recognition.
'They merely need such an object. The matter is that they understand
that even if Nagorno Karabakh is separated from Azerbaijan, it will
not exist as a separate state but will be united with Armenia. This
is inevitable. Karabakh politicians are also not interested in it.
Therefore, today they are satisfied with the status that we have'.
As for the possible solution of the conflict through war, the political
scientist said:
'In fact, I am against any war. Certainly, world history knows the
examples when such conflicts were settled through hostilities.
However, war can always have unpredictable implications. Let's imagine
that Azerbaijan will start war and even have success, that is, it
will return a part of lands.
Later the war will be suspended under pressure of external powers. And
what then? Again there will be a deadlock. A part of lands remains
under Armenia's control. The negotiation process will not be
successful, which means it will take another 15-20 years to start
negotiations on the return of the rest of lands. This will be a step
back. The conflict has already been lasting for 20 years and today
it is necessary to do everything to come to an agreement peacefully'.
