Karabakh Issue Is Not a Part of Opposition Between U.S. and Russia

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Nagorno Karabakh problem is not a part of opposition between the U.S. and Russia, quite the contrary, there is an understanding and consent in it, said RIA 'Novosti' Expert Council member Nikolay Zlobin, the Director of Russian and Asian Program Institute of World Security. In his words, unlike Abkhazian, South-Ossetian and Transdnestrian conflicts, there is no opposition of state interests between Moscow and Washington in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. That's why those countries have opportunity to come to common positions. "This is a positive factor. With all disagreements and differences in the positions generally the U.S. and Russia occupy a common stance on that problem. Though there exist pro-Armenian and pro-Azeri politicians in this or that country, there isn't anyone who would support military solution of the problem," stressed the expert.



Alongside, in Zlobin's opinion, there is an understanding that the keeping of status quo has its historical limits. "The U.S. position can be less often, if this problem becomes theoretical, and, moreover, practical cause for destabilizing the situation in the region. The solution of this conflict will be difficult, long and contradictory. There won't be any impulses from outside in the settlement process the coming two years," the American expert underscored, 'Novosti Azerbaijan' reports.
