EU: agreement on Karabakh may be elaborated till 2008
An agreement on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict may be worked out after the parliamentary election in 2007 and before the presidential election in Armenia and Azerbaijan, say the experts of UK-based Economist Intelligence Unit.
Experts think that given the chances for sealing peace in Karabakh, Washington may "refrain from putting obstacles in the Kocharian administration's way." They say "even the danger of being deprived of financial flows within Millennium Challenge Program and remain aside of the European Neighborhood Policy can't force the Armenian authorities to hold the parliamentary election in accord with international standards." The British experts remind that "the U.S. and EU have already warned Yerevan of grave consequences a marred election may have," RFE/RL reports.
