The West has one-sided approach in Karabakh conflict settlement issue - analyst
15:05 - 21.04.13
Unlike Kosovo issue, in Nagorno Karabakh conflict issue the West has a
one-sided approach which has not promoted the settlement of the NK
conflict, political analyst Manvel Sargsyan said speaking to Tert.am,
commenting on the signing of agreement between Kosovo and Serbia on
the settlement of relations with EU's brokering on April 19.
`The position in Karabakh issue is one-sided, uncertain that is why no
concrete field for negotiations opens. The proposals of the Minsk
group are so far from and it is impossible to continue the talks. I
think until the West and Russia do not change their approach it will
be difficult to wait for progress,' he stressed.
Kosovo broke away in 2008. While many countries recognise it as an
independent country, Serbia does not.
Many minority ethnic Serbs in Kosovo have refused to recognise the
authority of the mainly ethnic Albanian government in Pristina, since
it unilaterally declared independence five years ago.
Manvel Sargsyan stressed that the EU's success in Kosovo issue is
agreed with the circumstance that they have put a certain issue before
Serbia connected with the European integration.
`Serbia understood quite well why it was signing the agreement, they
knew what they would get. In our case Azerbaijan does not have any
wish to come to agreement as any such consent will mean it recognizes
the rights of Armenia, right of Karabakh people. They do not have such
wish. They do not sign any document and they do not recognize any
rights,' he said.
The analyst said the agreement was signed on the basis of EU
proposals. From the very beginning the EU has offered concrete things
to Serbia. He said in our case the situation has become more difficult
after OSCE meeting in Astana.
`The EU has clear integration program and tries to settle this or that
conflict through it. Everyone understands what political goals are
pursued and what they get from it,' the analyst said, adding that the
NKR seems to have been left out from EU integration program.
Sargsyan said the EU's efforts to get involved in NK conflict
settlement fail. `We even do not imagine what will happen in case of
the EU's interference as it is an unprecedented political direction
for the EU. It is difficult to say what it would have given to us,'
the analyst concluded.
