Armenian political scientist: "Interests of Armenia and Azerbaijan have coincided while signing the Moscow declaration, but this contradicts to Russia's interests"

"The interests of Armenia and Azerbaijan in the resolution of the Karabakh conflict have coincided again while signing the Moscow declaration for the first time after 1991", considers Stepan Grigoryan, head of the analytical center for globalization and regional cooperation.

"The Moscow declaration is unique in the sense that for the first time beginning from 1991, the heads of Armenia and Azerbaijan voiced similar interests, especially in the issue of continuation of the conflict resolution in the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group", he told a press conference on Monday.

He considers that this fact contradicts to the interests of Russia, which tried to fix its positions in the region by displaying initiative in signing the Moscow declaration.

According to the political scientist, another positive side of the declaration is its flexibility.

"The conflict parties may comment on each proposal of the declaration differently", said he.

He listed the non-participation of "NKR president" in the document signing among the negative sides of the declaration.
