KARABAKH SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS PARTY TO CONFLICT
- Format of the negotiation process is an important constituent of resolution of any conflict, since it reflects the balance of forces in the given region, said a Karabakhs-based political scientist. "The OSCE Minsk Group has evolved during the years of its existence. However, some permanent MG member states do not have tools of influence in the region. Meanwhile, a country like Iran is not represented. The main gap in the Minsk format is that participation of Nagorno Karabakh has been frozen for over 10 years already," David Babayan wrote in "Perspectives of the Nagorno Karabakh process in the light of recent geopolitical transformations" article obtained by PanARMENIAN.Net. "Nevertheless, the MG format has not been exhausted yet. Peace in the conflict zone is maintained by the Minsk Group," he wrote. Global developments will affect the Karabakh process and its format, according to Babayan. "There will be new initiatives, like the Iranian one. However, Karabakh should be recognized as a party to conflict," he wrote.
