ArmInfo.OSCE MG co-chairs undertake active efforts to organize meetings of Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents on Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, Alexander Iskandaryan, Caucasus Institute director stated in Yerevan during the press conference on August 28.
"One thing is sure-the meeting will take place. However, it is difficult to talk about concrete terms today", the expert said.
At the same time, he called not to overestimate and underestimate Minsk process. He noted that it is the only unique form, where three powers have a similar position. However, he said, one must understand that Karabakh issue is not among the urgent issues of the political agenda of these powers, and they make efforts to solve it as far as possible.
At the same time, Iskandaryan stated that at the conflict zone, the level of violence that was registered after last year's April war persists. At the same time he added that from time to time the situation worsens and calms down, but there are no visible changes.
Referring to the principles of Karabakh settlement promulgated by the outgoing OSCE Minsk Group Co- chair Richard Hoagland, Iskandaryan expressed his conviction that the ambassador did not say anything new and only repeated the well-known Madrid principles. "As for the new co-chair from the United States, Andrew Shofer, this is a fairly experienced diplomat who is aware of the Karabakh conflict," the expert said.
Answering the question whether Shofer's appointment as intermediary could have a significant impact on the course of the conflict settlement, the political scientist expressed the conviction that in this issue it is not necessary to focus attention on the individual. According to him, the Karabakh issue is like a "cabbage", where different factors are superimposed on each other as sheets and everything is interconnected, and individuals cannot have serious impact
ArmInfo.Armenia and the European Union, most likely, in November this year at the Brussels summit of the Eastern Partnership will sign an agreement on an expanded and comprehensive partnership. This was announced on August 28 at the press conference in Yerevan by the director of the Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan.
ArmInfo. Ambassadors of different states in Armenia from time to time make statements on various issues, and they are different from the point of view of diplomatic ethics.

ArmInfo. The fact that there is currently a tense situation at Karabakh conflict zone is completely unrelated to the previous presidential elections in Artsakh, such opinion was expressed at the press conference by the director of Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan.
ArmInfo"The result of the meeting in Brussels of the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan is a simple statement of the negotiation process continues." The fact that Azerbaijan did not cancel the meeting despite the aggravation of the situation on the border is very revealing. "The aggravation of the conflict is the tactics of Azerbaijan. Time has become a habit to combine negotiations with the aggravation of the Karabakh conflict, "said Alexander Iskandaryan, Director of the Caucasus Institute at a press conference on July 13 at a press conference in Yerevan..
ArmInfo.There is no strategy on Karabakh conflict settlement for the current moment, there are only attempts to prevent military actions. The situation of not war not peace will continue in the near future, Alexander Iskandaryan, Caucasus Institute director, political expert expressed such an opinion during the press conference.
