In fact, today the parties to the Karabakh conflict
are already ready to conduct a direct dialogue without intermediaries, an
expert on international issues, Hovanes Igityan, told ArmInfo
correspondent.
"Today the intermediaries suppress the
possibility of the battle actions resumption", - he said. He also added
that the three key world players which deal with the Karabakh conflict, the
USA, Russia and France, may prevent any battle action if they want, especially
between such small countries like Armenia and Azerbaijan.
At the same time, Igityan said that the wish about
mediation in the Karabakh conflict is often voiced from the side of the
regional players, which is quite natural. "When Iran says about that, it
is more or less admissible, as Iran has good relations with Armenia and
bearable relations with Azerbaijan. But when Turkey speaks about that - it's an
outrage", - the expert said.
Asked if Iran may be a guarantee of non-renewal of the
battle actions in the region, Igityan replied: "I think, he cannot,
especially if we take into consideration its shaky position in the world
community. Only the countries of the OSCE Minsk Group can ensure regional
stability".
