October 02, 2010 | 09:19
The OSCE Minsk Group does not prove its efficiency as a mediatory
format in the Karabakh peace process, as it offers the conflicting
parties non-existent rules of the game, Director of Russian and Asian
Programs Nikolay Zlobin told NEWS.am.
`Game over,' he said, however, appreciating the role of the OSCE MG in
establishing temporary peace in the region.
`Freezing conflict is one thing, which the mediators managed to do,
resolving another, the Minsk Group failed to do. However, the
dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group will mean the resumption of
hostilities,' the expert noted.
According to him, it is the last option to be discussed, as today to
win the war only by army is impossible. `Of course, the army is an
important mechanism, but it is mechanism of the past. It is necessary
to involve new players in the process,' Zlobin concluded.
