No compromise on Karabakh possible at current stage: Russian analystFebruary 6, 2014 - 17:04 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - At current stage, compromise in the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is impossible, requiring lengthy preparation of Armenian and Azerbaijani societies, a Russian analyst said, expressing skepticism over a possible diplomacy-brought breakthrough in the matter. As Alexander Krylov told PanARMENIAN.Net the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs have other tasks at hand – preventing further escalation in the conflict zone, lest it gets out of control. “However, labeling the peace process as useless would be incorrect; rather, the problem cannot be solved at once, especially at the current stage,” he noted. “At present, Azerbaijan’s state policy consists in exerting moral and diplomatic pressure,” the analysts said, citing pre-WWII Germany as an example. “During the capture of Austria, Czechoslovakia, and the majority of Western Europe, the Fascist Germany had no advantage in troops or weaponry. Still, it had a well-organized aggressive propaganda, which persuaded the Germans of their ability to crush the enemy and suppressed their rivals' will to resist. “In current circumstances, such lessons from history gain special urgency for Armenian side. No war is to be expected in near future, but Baku's all-round moral pressure on the authorities and society will continue, to get increasingly stronger,” the expert concluded.
