    Stepanakert does not expect significant progress in Karabakh conflict
    resolution in 2013

    The Press Secretary of the President of Nagorno Karabakh David Babayan
    in a conversation with Armenian News-NEWS.am said that official
    Stepanakert does not expect significant progress in resolving the
    Karabakh conflict in 2013.

    He noted that the reason for this not very optimistic approach is the
    fact that the largest recorded regression in all the years of
    negotiations was in 2012, the glorification of Azeri killer Ramil
    Safarov.

    `This is a serious blow to the negotiation process, and it will take
    years to correct this distorted situation,' David Babayan said.

    In addition, 2013 is the period of the elections in Armenia and
    Azerbaijan, and the negotiations on the Karabakh conflict will not be
    a priority issue.

    The Press Secretary of the President of Nagorno Karabakh also drew
    attention to the situation in the region, the problems of Syria and
    Iran, which could also affect the Karabakh settlement.

    `We cannot rule out that Azerbaijan will take provocative actions to
    exacerbate the situation, especially in the context of their
    elections. But I am sure that the parties and the mediators will not
    allow it,' David Babayan said.
