No progress in Nagorno-Karabakh talks expected before 2013 - expert
On May 12th the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group visited the region
and met with Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and the country's
Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandyan.
The Armenian minister blamed Azerbaijan for preventing a peace
agreement and accused the country of militarism.
VK asked Leonid Gusyev, member of the Moscow State Intitute of Foreign
Affairs' Analysis Center, to comment on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
resolution process.
According to Gusyev, the co-chairs' visit is a step towards a peaceful
solution to the problem, but the situation is very complicated and the
conflict cannot be resolved at once.
However the continuation of the peace talks is a good sign, the expert says.
Guseyev also believes that no breakthrough will be made before 2013,
the year when Armenians will elect the country's new president. Many
people think that these elections will be crucial for Armenia.
