Armenia's not making concessions complicates negotiating process: U.S expert

06 August 2009 [11:54] - TODAY.AZ
Major problem regarding settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is that Armenia does not make required concessions which complicates negotiating process, said research assistant of International Security Program and research director on Caspian studies project in the Belfer center Brenda Shaffer.
She said that bilateral visits of Armenia-Azerbaijan intellectuals to Nagorno-Karabakh are important. "But people fail to solve this problem without support of great powers. I mean countries with interests in the region. They must have impact on Armenia. But they have not made it yet," Shaffer said.  

"By laying all responsibility on sides of conflict great powers even more freeze negotiation process," the expert said.

For example, Shaffer said Russia can impact on Armenia in exchange for peace with Azerbaijan.

"But Shaffer does not see any active actions in this sphere. Meetings of presidents in Russia are organized to create vision that there is any action."
