Moscow. Farid Akperov - APA. Carnegie Endowment and US National
Security Archive organized an international conference titled "Ethnic
relations after the USSR collapse" in Moscow, APA correspondent
reports. US and Russian analysts expressed their opinions about the
history and contemporary tendencies of Azerbaijan-Armenian conflict.
US political analyst and historian William Taubman, known for his books
about former USSR leaders Nikita Khrushchev and Mikhail Gorbachev,
said one the factors causing the collapse of USSR was helplessness
of Gorbachev with regard to Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
"Mikhail Gorbachev wanted to solve the conflict peacefully without use
of force. He thought that it would be possible to solve the conflict by
bringing the intellectuals together and using the internal resources
of the Soviet people. Later he acknowledged that he couldn't solve
the conflict".
Touching upon the Nagorno Karabakh problem, Taubman said according
to the international law, Karabakh is a territory of Azerbaijan.
"According to the international law, intention of Nagorno Karabakh's
Armenians to unite with Armenia is separatism. But it is not my
authority to describe them as the separatists or in other status".
Heretofore secret documents were publicized during the conference. US
expert Tom Blanton introduced some CIS documents taken from the US
National Security Archive. Top secret label on these documents have
been removed. The documents are about the activity of Russian and US
intelligence services concerning the collapse of USSR. Audiotapes of
phone talks between Gorbachev and Bush were among the materials.
