Peacekeepers Will Not Contain Azeri Refugees, Dreaming to Pay Armenians back
In complicated settlements like that in case of the conflict in Nagorno Karabakh not formal-legal belonging of territories to a state, but confidence between parties to the Karabakh conflict, which is a substance that is difficult to grasp rationally, comes to the forefront, head of the Department of Issues in International Relations of the Institute of Political and Military Analysis Sergey Markedonov told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

«Why Stepanakert, turned in «Stalingrad» in 1991-1992, is rebuilt, while Shushi inhabited by Azeris does not exist? Because Shushi is a tactically dominating height over Stepanakert and Armenians fear «peaceful settlement» in the form of returning «Shushalary» - Shushi Azeris. Why the Armenian party refuses to release «occupied territories?» Because no peacekeepers, especially Europeans can prevent half a million Azeri refugees from returning to their homes. And there are no grounds for believing that after demilitarization of the territories and deployment of peace contingents there will not be a mass return of refugees, who dream to pay Armenians back,» the Russian political scientist stressed.
