The US Helsinki Commission will hold a special hearing on
Nagorno-Karabakh and other unresolved conflicts next week, APA
Washington DC correspondent was informed by the Congress.
A hearing on "Conflicts in the Caucasus: Prospects for Resolution"
will take place on December 7, with participation well-known Washington
analysts, officials, Senators, as well as three key panelists - Tom
de Waal, Senior Associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace, Fiona Hill, Senior Fellow of Brookings Institution and Wayne
Merry, Senior Fellow at the American Foreign Policy Council.
"Twenty years after the disappearance of the Soviet Union, the
unresolved conflicts in the Caucasus remain one of its most problematic
legacies. Despite the Organization for Security and Cooperation in
Europe's (OSCE) long mediation in the dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh,
the results have been disappointing", says the organizers. "After
the 2008 Russia-Georgia war and Moscow's subsequent recognition of
the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the prospects for
settling those conflicts seem more remote than ever".
