“RIGID STANDS OF PARTIES” MAJOR OBSTACLE TO KARABAKH SETTLEMENT
The constitutional referendum in Armenia and the parliamentary election in Azerbaijan impeded a bit the process of settlement of the Karabakh conflict. The absence of large-scale political processes in Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2006 will form a more favorable ground for talks. This was stated by former Russian mediating mission head and Russian President’s Plenipotentiary Representative for political settlement of the NK conflict, today Deputy Chair of the Association of Russian Diplomats Vladimir Kazimirov. In his words, at the same time considering that the year 2006 is crucial and all problems will be solved would be “too simplistic an approach.” “Favorable conditions should be used,” he said. In Kazimirov’s opinion, the year 2006 can conditionally be called “a moment of truth”, as the following 2 years will again be rich with domestic political processes. At that Kazimirov is sure that the major obstacle on the way of settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is not the factor of election processes, which are of temporary nature, but the “too rigid stands of the parties to conflict.” “No conflict can be solved without balanced concessions. The party, which states it has nothing to concede, as everything is already conceded, deceives itself and all others,” he stated. When commenting on the opinion that the NK conflict and protraction of the settlement process is a instrument for influence upon Armenia by Russia, Kazimirov emphasized that approach being rather primitive. “Russia needs calmly developing relations both with Armenia and Azerbaijan,” he said, reported IA Regnum.
