No compromise on Karabakh possible at current stage: Russian analyst

PanARMENIAN.Net - At current stage, compromise in the settlement of
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is impossible, requiring lengthy
preparation of Armenian and Azerbaijani societies, a Russian analyst
said, expressing skepticism over a possible diplomacy-brought
breakthrough in the matter.
As Alexander Krylov told PanARMENIAN.Net the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-chairs have other tasks at hand - preventing further escalation in
the conflict zone, lest it gets out of control.
"However, labeling the peace process as useless would be incorrect;
rather, the problem cannot be solved at once, especially at the
current stage," he noted.
"At present, Azerbaijan's state policy consists in exerting moral and
diplomatic pressure," the analysts said, citing pre-WWII Germany as an
example. "During the capture of Austria, Czechoslovakia, and the
majority of Western Europe, the Fascist Germany had no advantage in
troops or weaponry. Still, it had a well-organized aggressive
propaganda, which persuaded the Germans of their ability to crush the
enemy and suppressed their rivals' will to resist.
"In current circumstances, such lessons from history gain special
urgency for Armenian side. No war is to be expected in near future,
but Baku's all-round moral pressure on the authorities and society
will continue, to get increasingly stronger," the expert concluded.
