YEREVAN.- Prior to the meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders in
Kazan there was hope that both sides will reach agreement at least
on the basic principles, said Sabine Freizer, Crisis Group's Europe
Program Director.
Unfortunately, international community was disappointed with the
meeting's results, she told journalists in Baku.
As regards Turkey's role in Karabakh talks, Freizer considers that
Ankara had interesting ideas, APA news agency reports.
"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," she added.
According to her, no serious breakthrough is expected in resolution
of the conflict in the next 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," APA quotes the expert.
