The new Karabakh war through the "domino effect" will blow up Russian
regions up to Volga, an expert of the Armenian Centre for Political
and International Studies, Ruben Mehrabyan, said during today's public
debates "Karabakh conflict: dynamics and prospects" held in Yerevan
and organized by the Caucasus Institute.
"The point is that in today's realities one can just formally consider
the Karabakh conflict as a local one, as the clash of the global
and often contradictory interests has turned it into a thick ball
of disagreements linked with these interests. On the other hand,
the possibility of transformation of the conflict into a new stage
reduces much because of its conservation, which was partly implemented
by Turkey in its own interests as it had blockaded Armenia", - he said.
Meanwhile, the OSCE MG co-chair states have a consensus viewpoint only
regarding the Karabakh conflict. They have been striving not to let a
new war in the region, their viewpoints differ in all other issues,
he said. The availability of the unsettled Karabakh conflict is a
strong factor which promotes preserving of peace and the growth of
Russia's presence in the region, while on the contrary, the Karabakh
conflict hinders the West to increase its presence in the region.
