The parties to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict will reach a consensus
by next summer, according to a Russian expert.
Speaking in Baku, the vice Dean of the Moscow State University's
History Department and the editor-in-chief of information-analytical
center Vestnik-Kavkaza, Aleksey Vlasov, disagreed to the opinion
that the Kazan meeting between the Armenian, Azerbaijani and Russian
presidents was a failure.
He said the parties did not reach an agreement because of existing
conflicts in their approaches. The expert did not share the opinion
that Moscow is interested in keeping the conflict frozen.
"The unsettled Karabakh conflict negatively impacts the situation
in the North Caucasus and the south of Russia. That's why Russia is
interested in its settlement," the Azerbaijani news agency APA quoted
him as saying.
Vlasov further denied the media reports that Russia is going to give
up its role as a mediator. He said such disinformation pursues a
bias, as interested parties attempt in this way to monopolize the
peacekeeping mission.
The expert explained such manipulation by the current information
warfare.
"But Russia will have a decisive role in the conflict settlement
process," he added.
