Andranik Tevanyan: 2008 was force majéur in Karabakh process
The year of 2008 was force majéur in the Karabakh process, an Armenian expert said.
"Russia redoubled its intermediary efforts after five-day war but its interest is first of all conditioned by economic factors," Andranik Tevanyan, head of political economy research center, told a news conference today.
Russia decided to frustrate Nabucco gas pipeline construction and promised Baku its support in the Karabakh issue, according to him.
Tevanyan also reminded about Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov's statement that there are a few unsettled points in the talks' agenda, including the status of Lachin Corridor.
"The mediators are anticipating resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," Lavrov said in October.
