Krylov: Karabakh's Absence in Negotiations is Quite Nonsense
The Nagorno Karabakh conflict will not be settled in the near future, and the inclusion of Nagorno Karabakh in Azerbaijan is unlikely to happen, we can say that it is quite impossible, stated observer Alexander Krylov, a political scientist from the Institute of World Economy and International Relations of Russian Academy of Sciences. In his words, the current efforts of international mediators are doomed to failure since they do not take into account the will and mood of Nagorno Karabakh people in proper way. Krylov thinks that the greater problem is in the current format of negotiation process, where the Nagorno Karabakh does not take part, "and this is quite a nonsense." "without Karabakh's immediate participation in the negotiations the final settlement of the conflict is impossible. When Nagorno Karabakh returns to the peace talks, then we can speak about real progress," the Russian political scientist stressed, reports 'Novosti Armenia'.
