    Normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations will facilitate
    peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict, British expert Thomas
    de Waal said at a conference entitled "Settlement of the Karabakh
    conflict: the real and the unreal."

    He believes that if there was no disagreement between Armenia and
    Turkey, "the reconciliation between Armenia and Azerbaijan would be
    more real."

    According to de Waal, Baku is inclined to negotiate, but it does not
    exclude the military solution to the conflict.

    De Waal also noted that international experts should be involved with
    the Karabakh process since organizations such as the OSCE Minsk Group
    are not able to independently resolve the conflict.

    In his view, EU must also step up efforts in this regard.

    "The EU should be more actively involved in the settlement of the
    Karabakh conflict, because in the case it aggravates, Europe will be
    compelled to get involved in elimination of its consequences," said
    de Waal, noting that Europe is particularly interested in production
    and transit of energy.

    The expert also stressed that the EU has a similar experience with
    the countries of the Balkan region.

    "Nevertheless, conflict resolution is impossible without direct
    participation of public of the conflicting sides," he said.
