No UN special representative capable to resolve Karabakh conflict

Director of Caucasus Institute, political analyst Alexander Iskandaryan said that no UN special representative is capable to facilitate the Karabakh conflict settlement.

“The OSCE Minsk Group abolishment, far less its duplication in another instance will decelerate even the current process,” Iskandaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

According to him, similar statements are propaganda rather than real attempts aimed at accelerating the conflict resolution. “Readiness for compromises is required for real facilitation,” Iskandaryan said.

The idea to appoint a special representative for Nagorno Karabakh was suggested by Vaira Vike-Freiberga, Vice-president of the Reflection Group on the long-term future of the European Union, and Anne-Marie Lizin, President of the Senate of Belgium.
