Political scientist, University of Chicago Professor Ronald Suny considers that Armenian President Robert Kocharian "cannot resolve the Karabakh issue." The scientist stated it when commenting on the act of terrorism taken place in the Armenian Parliament in 1999. "These events were a tragedy for Armenia, the entire Caucasus and even the former Soviet Union, - the political scientist noted. - Without those people kind of a stagnation touched the region and the solution of the important problems." Answering the BBC question on who could have organized the crime, Suny said: "It seems to me that it was an action by a plotter group. There were people who became stronger after it, but this was the consequence, not the cause of the crime."
