Mikhail Neyjmakov: NATO, OSCE will hardly approve military resolution of Karabakh conflictJanuary 11, 2011 - 13:49 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Mikhail Neyjmakov, the head of the center of analysis of international policy at the institute of globalization and social movements, said that conversations about possible resumption of hostilities in the Karabakh conflict zone have become more active over the past three years. Indeed, one can recall the international experience. The territories, which were abandoned by groups of population supporting unity with a metropolitan country, often were returned under control of former metropolitan countries through a military way, the Russian expert said. However, according to him, NATO or OSCE will hardly approve a military resolution of the Karabakh conflict. “The side effect of the military conflict will be too great for the two parties. Even if Azerbaijani troops act maximum mercifully towards civilians, they - Armenians - will start leaving the territory on a mass scale. It will immediately serve as a reason for international organizations blames. Besides, it will create new problems for Baku in its relations with the EU,” said Neyjmakov. He went on saying that the military conflict cannot be excluded, but it is hardly possible. “Thus, the most likely scenario for 2011 supposes minimum concessions between the parties on tactical matters. And retention of parties from the military conflict will become a priority for international mediators,” Day.Az quoted Neyjmakov as saying.
