The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is beginning to resemble confrontation
between Israel and Palestine, Michael Gunter, professor of Political
Science at the Tennessee Technological University, told APA.
According to him, Abkhazia and South Ossetia are secondary problems
and they cannot be compared with the Karabakh conflict.
Gunter expressed confidence that the conflict should be resolved in
the near future. As to developments in the South Caucasus, he noted
that the region attracts attention by its oil resources.
"The South Caucasus region is mainly important for global affairs
only for its oil resources. The U.S. maintains a keen interest, but
realizes that it remains a distant third power when compared to the
proximity of Russia, Iran, and Turkey. Still given that the U.S. is
in many ways the world's only super power, by definition it remains
interested in all global regions especially the South Caucasus because
of its oil," the American professor said.
