Karabakh peace process lacks progress. The mediators are simply
making every effort to maintain the process as its goes, former MP
of NKR National Assembly, chief editor of Analitikon monthly Gegham
Baghdasaryan told a press conference on Wednesday.
"It is not a mere chance that EU High Representative for the South
Caucasus Peter Semneby stressed the significance of maintaining the
ceasefire regime at his recent meeting with the Azeri leader in Baku,"
he said.
"I do not expect any critical changes in the negotiation process. The
efforts would be a step up for the parties to strengthen the ceasefire
as there is a serious concern that Azerbaijan will choose a war as
a solution to the conflict," Baghdasaryan said.
According to him, the threat of war always hangs over the conflict,
but at the moment there is a small likelihood of large-scale military
actions.
"Neither Armenia nor Azerbaijan can resume hostilities, without
permission of external forces," he noted.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported previously, on January 24, EU
High Representative for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby stressed
the necessity of maintaining the ceasefire between the conflicting
parties at the meeting with Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev.
