Armenian expert: Russia's disinterest in early settlement of the Karabakh conflict is obvious

According to him, there are several reasons of the lack of grounds for the soonest resolution of the Karabakh conflict. Among them, he sited the lack of political will to compromises and unpopular decisions; unwillingness to accept compromise solutions; low level of mutual trust and the virtual absence of dialogue at the level of civil society institutions is also not conducive to the rapid resolution of the conflict (separate meetings of public officials in Armenia and Azerbaijan outside the region, somewhere in Nepal or Key West, do not count) and: the obvious difference in the positions of the United States and Russia on the soonest resolution of the Karabakh conflict.

As for the latter, he said:

"The United States and EU are doing everything for the rapid resolution of the conflict and the transformation of the South Caucasus region of cooperation and peace, disinterest of Russia in the early settlement of the conflict is obvious and can be explained by the fear of losing all the levers of influence on Armenia and Azerbaijan".

The expert noted that there are other reasons for the absence today of any serious grounds for mutually acceptable and voluntary solution to the Karabakh conflict.

"However, it is necessary today to welcome the readiness of the parties to work hard to find a solution to the conflict. In addition, the parties need to move from discussions of basic principles to the conflict to the drafting of a future peace treaty", concluded the expert.
