Karabakh process not in deadlock, expert believesApril 13, 2011 - 13:36 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Board chairman of Analytical Center on Globalization and Regional Cooperation, political analyst Stepan Grigoryan said the negotiations on the Karabakh conflict resolution proceed successfully enough. “Ilham Aliyev signed documents, which mention the Karabakh people’s right to self-determination. I mean the Madrid Principles and six steps proceeding from them. It means that the process is not in a deadlock,” Grigoryan told a press conference in Yerevan. However, according to him, the lack of confidence among the parties to the conflict remains one of the most important problems in the negotiation process. Grigoryan believes that snipers should be removed from the frontline, as well as swap of POWs should be continued to build confidence.
