    US-Russian joint efforts to help Azerbaijan and Armenia achieve peace

    Mark Katz If America and Russia work together, they may both be in a
    good position to help Azerbaijan and Armenia help themselves to
    achieve peace, Mark Katz.

    US expert Mark N. Katz, Political Science Professor at the Public and
    International Affairs Department at George Mason University believes
    that Turkey-Armenia rapprochement is putting particular
    responsibilities on Armenia in terms of Nagorno-Karabakh settlement.

    In an interview the analyst said that "If there is a Turkish-Armenian
    settlement, then Armenia will be under less pressure to resolve the
    Nagorno-Karabakh issue. On the other hand, Armenia wants to integrate
    itself more and more with the West. The possibility of this, however,
    will remain limited so long as the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute remains
    unsettled".

    The analyst also mentioned that "Especially now Russia appears more
    interested in resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and it is
    possible that the US and Russia could work together on this. It is not
    enough, of course, for Washington and Moscow to want this. An
    agreement must be found that is acceptable to both Azerbaijan and
    Armenia. Nobody can force an agreement on either".

    Besides that, Mr.Katz says that "All moderating countries pursue their
    own interests; America and Russia are no exception".
