Director of the Center for Public and Political Studies Vladimir
Evseev said the international community usually provides one month
for conflict's military resolution. It is proved by Israel's example
in Gaza Strip, Evseev noted.
"In my opinion, hardly the Karabakh conflict will be resolved
completely in a month. That is why the problem has no military
solution," the Russian political analyst said.
Besides, according to him, Russia will take a neutral position in
case of resumption of hostilities in Nagorno Karabakh. "Russia has
a military base in Gyumri and it has certain obligations for the
protection of Armenia, but not of Nagorno Karabakh. I am also concerned
over the fact that a great number of Armenians or persons having
close ties with the host country serve at the Russian military base
in Gyumri. It is difficult to predict or control these servicemen's
behavior in case of resumption of hostilities in Karabakh. Some forces
in Armenia, possibly, will exert efforts to involve Russia in the
military conflict. But hopefully Moscow will be able to withstand
these attempts, as it is not within Russia's national interests,"
Day.az quoted Evseev as saying.
