    "The events in Ukraine are the result of a geopolitical confrontation
    between the West and Russia," political scientist Aram Manukyan told
    a press conference today. He said that the referendum in Crimea
    cannot serve as a precedent for the other regions of Ukraine. As
    regards Karabakh, he said: "Russia will not spoil the relations
    with Azerbaijan, but will not demonstrate an anti-Armenian position,
    either."

    According to the political scientist, the Crimea referendum has caused
    trouble in Azerbaijan, because the similarities between Crimea and
    Karabakh are evident. However, "the international law works only when
    there is a powerful force standing behind the given country. There
    are still no prerequisites to assume the Karabakh conflict will be
    solved soon."

    Expert Manvel Sargsyan sees no similarities between the Karabakh issue
    and Crimea. "These are different political issues," Sargsyan said,
    speaking to Public Radio of Armenia. He voiced concern that the OSCE
    Minsk Group could be dissolved soon.

    Manvel Sargsyan does not share the opinion that the Crimean referendum
    was Russia's victory. "This is an illusion. In reality Russia is not
    the master of the situation, as it tries to present," he said.
