    ANDRANIK MIHRANIAN: MEETING IN KAZAN WAS DOOMED TO FAILURE

    AZG Armenian Daily #155, 01/09/2005

    Opinion

    According to the Azeri Trend agency, Andranik Mihranian, political
    expert from Moscow, said that the meeting of Kocharian and Aliyev was
    doomed to failure, as that would be very difficult to agree something
    on the eve of the parliamentary elections in Azerbaijan. Aliyev
    and Kocharian also realize that. Mihranian believes that the sides
    'can't do anything" to achieve the settlement.

    "The settlement may be imposed either by the international community
    or the status quo will be preserved, in the given case. This situation
    will continue until one of the sides feels confident and strong enough
    to settle the conflict by means of a war," the political expert
    stated. Reminding of the militant statements made by Ilham Aliyev,
    Mihranian didn't exclude that Azerbaijan will try to gain revenge.

    Unless the super powers didn't force the sides in conflict "the
    decision of mutual concessions," "that would be very difficult for
    the authorities or Armenia and Azerbaijan to explain to their voters
    why they make such unhelpful concessions." As for Russia's part,
    Mihranian said that Russia has very limited financial, economical
    and military-political opportunities. "Today the Russian potential
    doesn't allow doing more than they already do. They stopped consider
    Russia a key country for the settlement of the conflict," he said.
