Armenian or Azeri leaders are not the ones to determine the fate of Karabakh conflict, which fully depends on regional and global policies, according to a Russian political analyst.

“The tragic events in Azerbaijan (Sumgait, Kirovabad, etc.) must be given legal assessment,” Stanislav Tarasov stressed, commenting on whether Armenia may consider Russia’s bringing the case of South Ossetia war to International Court of Justice (ICJ) as a precedent.

“Armenian or Azeri leaders are not the ones to determine the fate of Karabakh conflict, which fully depends on regional and global policies. This is the main difference between Karabakh and South Ossetia issues,” the expert concluded.
