YEREVAN. â?" Any security guarantees seem doubtful amid Russia-West
tensions, analyst Sergey Minasyan told reporters on Monday.
Minasyan commented on providing international security guarantees
within Madrid Principles on Karabakh settlement.
"A clear example of the fact that nowadays guarantees may not work,
is the Ukrainian crisis and violation of Budapest memorandum, according
to which three states assumed obligation to refrain from use of force
against territorial integrity and political sovereignty of Ukraine,"
Minasyan said.
Besides, the Madrid Principles cannot be implemented, as none of the
parties is ready to hold talks on some elements.
"For example, one of the principles is return of the internally
displaced and the refugees. It is hard to imagine how it is technically
possible. This refers to all refugees, not those from Aghdam and
Lachn, but refugees from Shaumyan, Gandzak, Sumgait and Baku," the
analyst said.
However, Minasyan believes talks must continue for peace between
Armenia and Azerbaijan.
