Russian expert deems Karabakh talks in 2012 vague![]() January 9, 2012 - 12:08 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Deputy dean of history chair of Moscow State University assessed the outcomes of 2011 regarding Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement as unsatisfactory. According to Dr. Alexei Vlasov, Kazan meeting revealed the conflict sides’ unreadiness to sign documents signaling new stage of conflict resolution. “Consequently, trilateral talks through Moscow mediation could not yield tangible results, while Sarkozy’s standpoint regarding criminal responsibility for penalizing Armenian Genocide denial did cast doubt on previous mediation format," the expert said, backing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s position deeming Karabakh as the sole conflict in post Soviet area to be settled peacefully. Dr. Vlasov further expressed hope for the conflict parties to reach an agreement, whilst not ruling out the possibility of resumption of hostilities in the conflict zone. “I thoroughly exclude Turkey’s engagement in conflict mediation. The negotiation process in 2012 is completely vague, which may pose serous threats to regional peace,” 1news.az quoted Vlasov as saying. ![]() ![]() Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert.
