Resumption of military actions in the Azerbaijani-Karabakhi conflict
zone will cause a serious blow both to communications, possible
energy supply to the West and the influence of Europe and the US in
the region, in general, Adviser to NKR president on Foreign Policy
Issues Armen Melikyan told ArmInfo correspondent.
"In this regard the state of peace is important not as much for the
conflicting parties, as for the international community,' the Adviser
declared. In his words, this is the serious difference of the Karabakh
and other conflicts. "In the global geopolitical context the issue of
Azerbaijan's relations with Nagorno Karabakh greatly differs from all
other conflicts on post-Soviet space. In the relations with Abkhazia
and South Ossetia, many things simply depend on Georgia's relations
with Western Europe on one hand and Georgia's relations with Russia
on the other hand, i.e. for the Russian Federation and the Western
States it's a matter of influence on Georgia. The same can be said
about Transniestria.
The situation in Karabakh is different, and the importance of Karabakh
is quite different. It exceeds the frames of regional processes and
assumes a global nature," Armen Melikyan said.
