U.S. EXPERT: KARABAKH SETTLEMENT DEPENDS ON AZERI, ARMENIAN LEADERS
April 3, 2013 - 11:29 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - "The South Caucasus is an important region, which is
of great interest to the U.S. and Russia," said director of the Russian
and Eurasian Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International
Peace James Collins in his interview with APA's Moscow correspondent.
He said that the interests of the U.S. and Russia don't coincide:
"But from the political point of view the U.S. and Russia do not
have big controversial issue in the South Caucasus. Russia and the
U.S. are rivals in the energy sphere of the region. There are few
controversial issues in other spheres."
Asked about insufficient efforts of the U.S. towards the settlement of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Collins noted that the solution of the
conflict depends only on the will of Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders:
"Unfortunately, they fail to reach an agreement in the settlement of
the conflict. As a person dealing with this problem, I can say that
the solution doesn't depend on the non-regional countries. Non-region
countries can not solve this problem."
