YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 28, ARMENPRESS: Karabakh issue must find a solution
in a peaceful way: the resuming of war will not bring to any good
result, former Russian co-chair of the OSCE Minsk group, Ambassador
Vladimir Kazimirov said during today's Yerevan-Moscow space bridge.
According to him, the military activities must be excluded in
regulation of the Karabakh issue, and a rough position must be
displayed toward the party that will take such a step.
"Here the OSCE Minsk group also has a task to fulfill. This structure
must come forth with rough position in case of military activities.
The meetings directed toward regulation process of the Karabakh issue
must be continued. I do not share the opinions that no change is
taking place," Mr. Kazimirov said. He noted that there is a progress
in regulation process of the Karabakh conflict, but it is very slow.
Director of the Caucasus Institute of Armenia Alexander Iskandaryan
noted that essential changes in regulation process of the Karabakh
issue must not be expected in 2011. The status-quo of Nagorno Karabakh
will be maintained in the running year, which is positive according
to the political specialist.
Director of the Institute of CIS Countries Alexander Markarov noted
that it will not be right to speak about final regulation in near
future. Two interesting formats are outlined in the recent 2 years.
Besides the bilateral meeting of the Azerbaijani and Armenian
presidents, a meeting with the President of Russia is conducted.
According to Mr. Markarov, Russia comes forth as a locomotive of the
negotiation process in the OSCE Minsk group.
"If the negotiations are not continued in this format, then the
periodical clashes at the border can be an alternative. In all
appearances the Azerbaijani party has understood that the conflict
is not possible to solve in that way, as the Armenian forces at the
contact line give adequate response," Mr. Markarov said.
Director of the Political and Social Researches Institute of Black
Sea-Caspian region Vladimir Zakharov noted that Azerbaijan will not
apply to serious military activities. The latter perfectly realizes
that in such a case it will be considered as aggressor by the world.
According to Mr. Zakharov, the experience shows that in case of
appearing in the role of aggressor, the relations of the given country
and of other states worsen.
Referring to the latest meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani
presidents, the speakers noted that the cooperation of the two
countries is on high level. Mr. Kazimirov attached importance to the
agreement reached on gas tariff. Mr. Iskandaryan said that it has a
great importance in economic and social life of Armenia.
