    TURKEY SEEKS TO STRENGTHEN ITS REGIONAL POSITION THROUGH KARABAKH CONFLICT

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Premier's statement on OSCE MG's passivity in
    Karabakh settlement issue is untrue, RA NAS Oriental Studies Institute
    director, professor Ruben Safrastyan told PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

    "OSCE MG is actively working towards Karabakh conflict settlement,"
    he noted, adding that the issue is a complicated one and can't be
    settled fast.

    "Turkey seeks to strengthen its regional position through Karabakh
    conflict. I believe, Ankara's interference can negatively influence
    conflict settlement process and promote militaristic statements
    of Azerbaijan."

    The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan broke out in
    1988 as result of the ethnic cleansing the latter launched in the
    final years of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from
    1991 to 1994. Since the ceasefire in 1994, sealed by Armenia, NKR and
    Azerbaijan, most of Nagorno Karabakh and several regions of Azerbaijan
    around it (the security zone) remain under the control of NKR defense
    army. Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding peace talks mediated by the
    OSCE Minsk Group up till now.
