In fact, today the parties to the Karabakh conflict are already ready
to conduct a direct dialogue without intermediaries, an expert on
international issues, Hovanes Igityan, told ArmInfo correspondent.
"Today the intermediaries suppress the possibility of the battle
actions resumption", - he said. He also added that the three key world
players which deal with the Karabakh conflict, the USA, Russia and
France, may prevent any battle action if they want, especially between
such small countries like Armenia and Azerbaijan.
At the same time, Igityan said that the wish about mediation in the
Karabakh conflict is often voiced from the side of the regional
players, which is quite natural. "When Iran says about that, it is
more or less admissible, as Iran has good relations with Armenia and
bearable relations with Azerbaijan. But when Turkey speaks about that
- it's an outrage", - the expert said.
Asked if Iran may be a guarantee of non-renewal of the battle actions
in the region, Igityan replied: "I think, he cannot, especially if we
take into consideration its shaky position in the world community.
Only the countries of the OSCE Minsk Group can ensure regional
stability".
