Armenian political scientist: "I do not see the driving force which could make Ilham Aliyev accept independence of Nagorno Karabakh"

"Though serious people announce the soonest resolution of the Karabakh conflict, I do not think that this issue will be settled within half a year or even within a year or five", said Shakaryantz at a press conference Thursday.

He considers that the very important moment today is that the issue will be settled peacefully. Yet, he said there is no factor, which may influence Azerbaijan for it to make concessions.

"In this situation Azerbaijan must make concessions, as it is alone against Armenia and Karabakh. If superpowers are ready to influence on Azerbaijan so that to make it recognize independence of "NKR", the issue will be settled very quickly. But I do not see any driving force, which could make reelected Ilham Aliyev accept independence of Karabakh", said he.
