YEREVAN. - Resolution of the Karabakh conflict is a long process. It
requires reaching agreement on the issues that the parties can solve
at the moment, political analyst told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
Sergey Minasyan, deputy director of the Caucasus Institute, said such
issues are reducing tension at the line of contact, or abandoning the
warlike rhetoric.
OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs Igor Popov (Russia), Jacques Faure (France)
and James Warlick (USA), and Andrzej Kasprzyk, Personal Representative
of the OSCE Chairman-in-Office met with Armenian and Azerbaijani FMs
on Friday.
The Co-Chairs stressed the commitment of their three countries to
support the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict based
on the non-use of force or the threat of force, territorial integrity,
and equal rights and self-determination of peoples.
`If it is possible to persuade Azerbaijani side, which disagrees to
make any effort because Baku believes that by doing so it will lose
the last lever of influence on the negotiation process, then we can
say that there may be some movement. If not, then the meeting was,
unfortunately, a formal meeting, which, however, in this format allows
preventing the so-called big war,' Minasyan said.
