Baku. Parvin Abbasov - APA. "Prior to the Kazan meeting of the
presidents it had been expected that both sides would reach an
agreement at least on common principles.
Unfortunately, the international community, including the Azerbaijani
society was dissatisfied with the results of the Kazan meeting. The
results of the Kazan meeting were indeed disappointing," Sabine
Freizer, Crisis Group's Europe Program Director, told journalists in
Baku, APA reports.
Touching on Turkey's role in the negotiations on Nagorno Karabakh
conflict, Sabine Freizer said Ankara had very interesting ideas
concerning the resolution of the conflict.
"But Turkey has border problem with Armenia, therefore there
are difficulties. If Turkey wants to make any contribution to the
negotiations on Nagorno Karabakh conflict, to join the process from
positive aspect, it first of all should normalize the relations with
Armenia," he said.
Sabine Freizer underlined that no serious improvement was expected
towards the resolution of the conflict in the coming two years.
"Elections will be held in the co-chairing countries - Russia, US
and France in the coming two years. Therefore, I think it is unlikely
that there will be any improvement in the negotiations," he said.
Expert also mentioned the forthcoming elections in Armenia and said
the preparation for the war was seemed as rhetoric.
