The Press Secretary of the President of Nagorno Karabakh David Babayan
in a conversation with Armenian News-NEWS.am said that official
Stepanakert does not expect significant progress in resolving the
Karabakh conflict in 2013.
He noted that the reason for this not very optimistic approach is the
fact that the largest recorded regression in all the years of
negotiations was in 2012, the glorification of Azeri killer Ramil
Safarov.
`This is a serious blow to the negotiation process, and it will take
years to correct this distorted situation,' David Babayan said.
In addition, 2013 is the period of the elections in Armenia and
Azerbaijan, and the negotiations on the Karabakh conflict will not be
a priority issue.
The Press Secretary of the President of Nagorno Karabakh also drew
attention to the situation in the region, the problems of Syria and
Iran, which could also affect the Karabakh settlement.
`We cannot rule out that Azerbaijan will take provocative actions to
exacerbate the situation, especially in the context of their
elections. But I am sure that the parties and the mediators will not
allow it,' David Babayan said.
