"It is absolutely clear that no party will get everything it wants. But
the community does not want to understand it. It lives in illusions,
while the leaders don't have enough will and courage to help people
get convinced of it," former Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group ,
Ambassador Vladimir Kazimirov told ArmInfo correspondent.
Asked if he noticed readiness of the Armenian and Azerbaijani
authorities to show political will, and if the societies of the
two parties can accept the necessity of compromises at this stage,
Mr. Kazimirov replied that at present there is shortage of the culture
of compromises. He also added that journalists could do much in this
context, but they don't dare. As a result, radicals and demagogues
deceive both nations.
"The attempts to settle the Karabakh conflict without its participation
are absurd. Sooner or later they should involve it in the talks,
meanwhile they will lose several years," the former Co-Chair of the
OSCE Minsk Group said.
Asked if the negotiating process has entered deadlock at present,
and if active talks are possible before the end of presidential
elections in Armenia and Azerbaijan, Vladimir Kazimirov responded:
"You question itself contains the answer. We have to wait for another
two years, but this does not promise progress either."
