'No changes should be expected in established status quo in the
Karabakh conflict at the summit of heads of the OSCE states in Astana',
said expert.
'Unfortunately, it is difficult to expect serious changes since no
party is ready for a radical review of its positions. And when they
are mutually excluding it is difficult to hope for any achievements.
The only thing that can be said here is that at the summit in Astana
everyone will call on the parties to reject the military attempts
to settle the conflict and urge Armenia and Azerbaijan to renew
economic cooperation and to ensure the security of strategically
important facilities, as the Metsamor nuclear power station. However,
no changes should be expected in status quo', said professor of the
University of Tennessey, political scientist Andrei Korobkov.
He said the Karabakh conflict is not the only conflict of its kind.
'We have seen the attempts to settle similar conflicts through war
in the past years. But these attempts did not promote the conflict
settlement and just created new problems. Therefore, it is important
for the parties to the Karabakh conflict not to allow the resumption of
hostilities since it will have a negative impact on the whole region',
said Korobkov.
The summit of the heads of the OSCE states will be held in Astana
(Kazakhstan) on December 1-2 of this year.
