Expecting Final Decision of Karabakh in Coming Two Years SenselessOctober 23, 2006 - 18:36 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Formally the Minsk process was not stopped. The OSCE MG is a format created for contribution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement. But since 2001 it has been frozen, political scientist, rector of the Caucasus Media Institute Alexander Iskandaryan said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net In his words, recently attempts to activate the work of the OSCE Minsk Group can be observed. "The latest visit of the Co-chairs is a proof. However I do not think that quick resolution of the conflict is possible. Unfortunately the positions of the sides are rather far away from each other. Thus, it's senseless to expect a final resolution during the coming year or two," he said At that the political scientist said that energy essential for activation of the Minsk process is being accumulated and this can lead to deepening of useful contacts between Armenia and Azerbaijan. "Thus, a dialogue between the sides was resumed. However it does not mean a quick resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Anyway, talks are better than their complete absence," Iskandaryan underscored.
