Russian expert hopes for progress in Nagorno-Karabakh peace process
November 11, 2010 | 13:46
Positive changes in the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process can be expected
from the OSCE Summit in Astana, Konstantin Zatulin, Vice-Chairman of
the Committee for CIS and ties with Russian Nationals, RF State Duma,
Director of the CIS Institute, told NEWS.am.
The reason for positive expectations is that military operations are
the only alternative to the peace process, but no one wants it. `Those
calling for peace and negotiations and entertaining even vain hopes
for peace can not, at least, be suspected of thwarting the
negotiations because of their uncompromising position,' Zatulin said.
At present the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries are showing a
unanimous approach. `Of course, approaches may differ, but I can say
one thing for sure: resuming hostilities is not in the co-chairing
countries' interests. The OSCE MG member-countries have disagreements
over many other issues, but they are unanimous about this issue. They
have an understanding on what a final settlement should be,' Zatulin
said.
