    TRANSDNIESTRIA CONFLICT IS NOT AS COMPLEX AS KARABAKH

    Russia

    In an interview with Ekho Kavkaza, Alexey Vlasov talks about conflict
    resolution in post-Soviet republics.

    Demis Polandov: What do you think about the recent announcement that
    Trandniestria may become an autonomous part of Moldova? Are those
    just words or has something really changed in Moscow's approach to
    the matter?

    Alexey Vlasov: I think this statement is well based. It seems to Moscow
    that the Transdniestria conflict is more likely to be resolved with the
    help of Russia than the Karabakh problem. The only possible way out of
    the Transdniestria conflict seems to be the federalization of Moldova.

    Demis Polandov: You think the parties will agree to such a propositon?

    Alexey Vlasov: It's quite clear that future talks will be very hard
    and long. The thing is that the conflict involves only Transdniestria
    and Moldova and not Moldova and Russia, as some people believe. I
    don't think that the parties will agree to this plan at once. They
    will do their best to negotiate the most favourable terms.

    Demis Polandov: Doesn't this scheme suit Georgia and its breakway
    republics?

    Alexey Vlasov: The situation in Georgia is different. The conflict
    between Russia and Georgia is mainly a conflict between Moscow and
    Saakashvili. That is why it's useless discussing a possible way out
    of the conflict before Saakashvili's resignation.

    Demis Polandov: And what about after Saakashvili's resignation? How
    will the conflict be resoved?

    Alexey Vlasov: I believe that there is no need to discuss possible
    renouncement of Russia's recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. It
    simply won't happen in the near future. You see, the situation
    surrounding Transdniestria is different. There is a concrete peace
    plan and the conflict can actually be resolved. That is why it differs
    so greatly from the Karabakh conflict.
