"First, change of format of talks and acceptance of Turkey's Caucasus Platform. With strengthening of bilateral relations, some progress will be possible in 2010-2011. The second factor depends on development of economic situation in Azerbaijan. If this country works out a new model of successful development, Armenia might move toward resolution of the conflict. The third factor is conditioned by Armenia's domestic affairs," Karavayev said.
