Vladimir Zakharov: absence of Karabakh signature on Moscow declaration arouses indignationNovember 17, 2008 - 15:34 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Adoption of a declaration on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict should have been a more balanced and considered step, a Russian expert said. "The declaration contains a number of vague provisions," Vladimir Zakharov, the head of the Center of Caucasus Studies at Moscow State Institute of International Relations (MGIMO), told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. "On the one hand, the declaration seems to be a positive step. On the other hand, absence of Karabakh signature on the document arouses indignation. Nagorno Karabakh is a state which should be treated in a proper way. Besides, all should remember that it's the opposition between Karabakh and Azerbaijan but not between Azerbaijan and Armenia," he said, adding that it's unreal to announce the date of final resolution of the conflict.
