During the recent meeting of the Russian, Azerbaijani and Armenian
presidents the parties issued a joint statement saying that they are
ready to speed up preparation of an agreement on a settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. However, Andrey Kazntsev, a member of the
Moscow State Institute of Foreign Relations's Center for Euro-Atlantic
Security, believes that after Vladimir Putin's probable victory in
the March presidential elections, no progress in the peace talks
should be expected.
According to the expert, it was President Dmitry Medvedev who was so
interested in a peaceful solution to the Karabakh conflict. Vladimir
Putin seems to pay less attention to the issue.
The situation is becoming even more complicated due to recent
developments surrounding Iran's nuclear program, Kazantsev says.
