    ARMENIAN EXPERT: RUSSIA'S DISINTEREST IN EARLY SETTLEMENT OF THE KARABAKH CONFLICT IS OBVIOUS

    High expectations from the meeting of Presidents of Azerbaijan and
    Armenia in St. Petersburg, will not prove justified, so the meeting
    will not be decisive or a breakthrough, said head of the Analytical
    Center on Globalization and Regional Cooperation (Armenia) Stepan
    Grigoryan.

    According to him, there are several reasons of the lack of grounds for
    the soonest resolution of the Karabakh conflict. Among them, he sited
    the lack of political will to compromises and unpopular decisions;
    unwillingness to accept compromise solutions; low level of mutual
    trust and the virtual absence of dialogue at the level of civil
    society institutions is also not conducive to the rapid resolution
    of the conflict (separate meetings of public officials in Armenia
    and Azerbaijan outside the region, somewhere in Nepal or Key West, do
    not count) and: the obvious difference in the positions of the United
    States and Russia on the soonest resolution of the Karabakh conflict.

    As for the latter, he said:

    "The United States and EU are doing everything for the rapid resolution
    of the conflict and the transformation of the South Caucasus region of
    cooperation and peace, disinterest of Russia in the early settlement
    of the conflict is obvious and can be explained by the fear of losing
    all the levers of influence on Armenia and Azerbaijan".

    The expert noted that there are other reasons for the absence today
    of any serious grounds for mutually acceptable and voluntary solution
    to the Karabakh conflict.

    "However, it is necessary today to welcome the readiness of the
    parties to work hard to find a solution to the conflict. In addition,
    the parties need to move from discussions of basic principles to
    the conflict to the drafting of a future peace treaty", concluded
    the expert.
