Baku/10.02.15/Turan: The OSCE Minsk Group has done all its best:
contributed to the negotiation process, represented all reasonable
options, but the parties have not accepted them. The mediators can
do nothing more, said political scientist Zardusht Alizadeh in an
interview with Turan. He also noted that the State co-chairs are not
interested in resolving the conflict. Alizadeh said that the change in
the status quo depends on the government and the people of Azerbaijan.
If Azerbaijan wants to liberate Karabakh, it should make deep reforms,
a policy aimed at ensuring peace.
By freezing conflicts Russia is trying to keep the post-Soviet space
under its control, and the events in Ukraine is a bright proof of
this. Alizadeh is pessimistic about the prospects for its settlement.
"Either Russia will collapse, or the people of Azerbaijan must change.
But I do not see any political force capable of implementing these
changes," said Alizadeh. Regarding the role of the United States, if
Washington wants it may violate stability, begin bloody conflicts, and
vice versa, if necessary, will begin peacekeeping process. In Karabakh,
the US do not what they can do," said Alizadeh. He believes that if
Armenia comes out of the control of Russia, it will take more realistic
approach and compromise, and the conflict will be settled.--16C03-
