PanARMENIAN.Net - An expert at the Institute of Political and Social
Studies of the Black Sea and Caspian Region believes Nagorno Karabakh
conflict settlement will be continued in OSCE Minsk Group format.
Dwelling on Russia's involvement, Andrey Areshev noted that Moscow's
adopting a clearer position on the issue would promote regional
stabilization. "The stronger Russia's presence at South Caucasus is,
the more are chances for stability in current status quo," the Russian
expert said.
"Any attempt to force questionable principles for settlement on
conflicting parties is doomed to failure. Both Yerevan and Baku realize
that an attempt to fulfill settlement principles where there's lack
in mutual trust spells suicide for all parties involved.
"I doubt current military balance will be violated, nor is there
any chance for a diplomatic breakthrough, with Armenia and Russia
entering upon a complicated election period. As far as settlement
goes, no progress is to be expected for at least a halfyear," the
expert concluded.
