ArmInfo. Armenia has undertaken to resolve the Karabakh conflict only peacefully, RA President Serzh Sargsyan said from the rostrum of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. According to him, Armenia will use its influence on Artsakh to promote a peaceful resolution of the conflict. Serzh Sargsyan also urged the PACE to prevent, as far as possible, biased statements from the rostrum of the structure to preserve fragile security in the conflict zone. "Artsakh continues to build a democratic state based on the protection of human rights, and Armenia renders full support to Stepanakert on this path. In Europe, there should be no gray areas when it comes to the protection of human rights," the Armenian leader said. Presenting the genesis of the Karabakh conflict, Sargsyan stressed that Baku at one time tried to expel Armenians from their historical places of residence. Further, he focused on the need to respect the ceasefire. "Settlement should be peaceful, and we need to overcome the shortage of justice," the president said, stressing that regardless of his further political plans he will always be at the forefront in the protection of Artsakh's right to self-determination. Sargsyan again noted that the OSCE Minsk Group is the only negotiated format at the international level.

"This was a strong blow to the talks, which awoke the terrible memories of Sumgait," the Armenian leader summed up.

ArmInfo. The forthcoming change of the Armenian president in March will further complicate the Karabakh settlement, - Stanislav Pritchin, an analyst of the program "Russia and Eurasia" of the Royal Institute of International Relations Chatham House, is convinced. In the March 2 elections, the Armenian president will be elected by the parliament, in which the majority of the seats belong to the Republican Party of Armenia. Further in April, the new president will appoint a new prime minister from the same RPA. The new president will be deprived of levers of influence on foreign and defense policy. The armed forces will report to the Minister of Defense, and the functions of the supreme commander-in-chief are assigned to the prime minister during the period of military operations. The main candidate for the premier's post from the RPA is its leader Serzh Sargsyan. "The president elected by the people is technically less dependent on the parliament and those factions that are part of the coalition to form a majority in the parliament." At present, the prime minister will become the head of Armenia, elected by the parliament, and, accordingly, his relationship with the parliament, and dependence on the partners the coalition will be the strongest, and this fact can not not affect the negotiations on Karabakh, "said the analyst. At the same time, the analyst does not expect serious changes in the South Caucasus in 2018, when presidential elections will be held in Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan, considering that the same president and the same team will come to power in Russia, as in Azerbaijan. In Armenia, in April, the question will be resolved who will become prime minister in the conditions of the parliamentary system of government. He predicts that after all these elections a long inter-electoral period will begin, which, at least initially, will give a certain carte blanche for solving regional problems, including the Karabakh conflict, when the forthcoming elections will not pressure the government of the countries. According to Pritchin, the development of relations between Russia and the West will largely predetermine the approval in February of a new package of US sanctions against Russia. If sanctions are implemented in the form in which it is stated, the analyst predicts laying the foundation for an even deeper crisis in bilateral relations. "In this situation, any foreign policy initiatives of Russia will be based on the logic of confrontation, but today the Karabakh conflict is not an apple of discord between the West and Russia, and moreover, it is the only conflict in the post-Soviet space in which countries do not support the warring sides. for Russia and the United States to work together to resolve the conflict, but a very serious confrontation obviously excludes the possibility of working together. "Everything will depend on the situation," summed up the Chatman House analyst.
