Regional players won’t agree with offer to withdraw Armenian forces from 2 Karabakh regions

Discussions on withdrawal of Armenian forces from 2 Karabakh-adjacent regions are noting new. Yet, to implement the offer, final settlement of conflict, covering Karbakh status, is necessary, Deputy CEO of Strategic Culture Foundation Andrei Areshev stated.

In a conversation with PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, Andrei Areshev commented on Azeri media-spread information as to Turkish Prime Minister’s advising Azerbaijan to agree to withdrawal of Armenian forces from Fizuli and Kelbajar.

“I believe the advice will not be considered, as fraught with cardinal changes in the alignment of forces. Besides, regional players will not agree with it either,” the expert said.

Dwelling on ratification of rapprochement Protocols, Andrei Areshev noted the ratification to be possible only in case Armenia agrees to one-sided concessions in Karabakh conflict settlement.
