Changes in Russia's policy towards Yerevan to lead to real progress in Karabakh process
Moscow's policy towards Yerevan will lead to a real breakthrough in Karabakh peace process, Richard Giragosyan, Director of the Center for Strategic and National Studies, told a seminar-discussion on "Armenian-Turkish diplomacy and Nagorno Karabakh: Deal or no deal?". "For instance, Moscow's pro-Armenian policy may become neutral, leading to normalization of Russian-Azerbaijani ties. Russia will show EU and US its readiness for more constructive cooperation," expert noted.

According to him, such changes is the only factor Armenia is not ready for. Giragosyan is convinced that if Russia really changes its policy towards Karabakh issue, there will hardly be any response or counterbalance by Yerevan.
