ArmInfo. Talks about the delivery of Karabakh territories should be stopped. Such an opinion was stated by Vladimir Evseev, the CIS countries Caucasus Institute deputy director, while delivering a speech at the round table session dedicated to South Caucasus Security, held in Yerevan recently.
"It is considered that within this situation, rethorics and Azerbaijani behavior, the delivery of any territory would exclusively lead to even greater intensity of the situation and the resumption over Karabakh combat actions, which is impermissible for Russia," he stressed.
According to the expert, it is extremely important to return Stepanakert to the negotiating table on the peaceful settlement of Karabakh conflict. According to his estimates, Karabakh participation in negotiations on its own destiny is a necessary condition .
Another necessary component of the contact line situation settlement of opposing sides, Evseev thinks the speedy implementation of mechanisms to investigate incidents. According to his estimates, only this step can reduce the constantly growing intense degree at the contact line.
"Without these steps, it is impermissible to give any territories over Karabakh , because it would open new risks and would sharpen already existing ones. In this context the delivery of situations is nothing more than a direct and shortest way to defeat," Russian expert summarized.
