PanARMENIAN.Net - Karabakh conflict is a vulnerable issue, professor
emeritus of history at Yale University, the author of `The Struggle
for Transcaucasia (1917-1921)' said.
`A conflict between nations populating the South Caucasus, Armenians
and Azerbaijanis, is one of the reasons why region fell under the
power of Soviet Russia,' according to Firuz Kezimzadeh.
To resolve the conflict, the expert suggested economic, and later,
political unification of Transcaucasia, citing Germany and France as
an example of reconciliation between long-term rivals.
`The reality is that Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia have close
cultural and geographic ties, so there must be a way to eventually
settle the existing problems, long as they might remain pending,'
1news.az quoted the expert as saying.
