YEREVAN. - New war over Nagorno-Karabakh will destroy the entire
system of interrelations in South Caucasus, said political analyst
for Baku based Zerkalo newspaper Rauf Mirgadirov to "Caucasus-2010"
Yerevan conference on May 17th.
According to him the countries of the region gradually toppled
the fear of 2008 Russian-Georgian war. Mirgadirov thinks that
Nagorno-Karabakh case is not one to be quickly localized, considering
that 'the troops are 20-30 kilometers far from the pipe" [referring
to Baku-Tbilisi-Jeyran pipeline], which determines the U.S. policy
in the region. Mirgadirov added that new war will ruin the entire
system of interrelations, given that Turkey could not possibly keep
out. In this case Nagorno-Karabakh status is not likely to change
said Mirgadirov, adding that both its recognition and maintenance of
status quo is disadvantageous for all parties.
Mirgadirov believes that there is certain pressure exerted on the
two sides to reach an agreement on deployment of peacekeepers in the
conflict zone.
