Russia, U.S. bide their time for Karabakh conflict resolution

PanARMENIAN.Net - Not all the participants of negotiation process on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement have freedom in decision-making, and those who have wait for a suitable time, said a YSU professor, political scientist Alexander Manasyan at the press-conference in Yerevan. As he says countries like U.S. and Russia wait for a suitable time to settle the problem to their advantage. "The main victims of Karabakh confrontation are Armenians who were forced to leave their permanent residencies in Eastern Transcaucasus, Nakhijevan, Central and Northern Artsakh. Moreover, the Armenians of these territories have not received any material or territorial compensation," Manasyan emphasized.



The professor also introduced his book on "Karabakh Confrontation" issued in 2008.The publication gives historical and legal arguments that irrefutably prove the full legitimacy of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic formed in compliance with the norms of International Rights. The booklet gives argumentation important during the debates with the opponents. At the same time it is accessible to those with no deep idea of the situation. One of the parts of the booklet deals p with Sumgait disorders of 2008, stating that they were not at all unexpected but were another link in the chain of the means leading to the target, i.e. clearing Azerbaijan of Armenians.
