Kazan meeting 'next stage in Karabakh negotiations'
Fri 01 July 2011 09:59 GMT | 5:59 Local Time
'I think some agreement may be reached in the resolution of Nagorno
Karabakh conflict within a year, by the summer of 2012'.
The statement came from editor-in-chief of the Russia-based Vestnik
Kavkaza information-analytical agency Alexey Vlasov at the press
conference.
Alexey Vlasov did not agree to the assessment of the presidents' Kazan
meeting as failure, he regarded the meeting as the next stage in the
Karabakh negotiations.
According to him, agreement was not reached in Kazan, because there
still is discord between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Yerevan first of all
insists on the determination of the status of Karabakh, Baku insists
on the withdrawal of Armenian troops from the occupied territories.
Russian political analyst did not agree to the views that Moscow is
interested in the frozen Karabakh conflict.
'Protraction of the Karabakh conflict has negative influence on North
Caucasus and the stability in the south of Russia. Therefore, Russia
is interested in the resolution of this conflict,' he underlined.
Commenting on the recent media reports that Russia will abandon
mediation, Vlasov said such reports are groundless. He considers that
the reports that Russia will abandon mediation are spread
intentionally, they are backed by the intention of other interested
sides to monopolize peacekeeping mission. Vlasov said that the recent
reports are explained by the information warfare.
'But Russia will play a crucial role in the resolution of the problem,' he said.
Deputy director of the Center for Post-Soviet Studies of Moscow State
University Ismayil Agakishiyev said the Armenian Diaspora and `war
party' in Yerevan impedes the resolution of Karabakh conflict. He
considers that achievement of peace was more real during the
presidency of Ter-Petrosyan.
'But the forces in Yerevan and abroad made him leave. After that the
Armenian parliament was fired,' he said.
Agakishiyev considers that these forces will continue to impede peace
agreement.
