ArmInfo. Only time can help to overcome the post-war sentiments in Armenia and Azerbaijan, overcome and dull the feeling of defeat and victorious euphoria. A similar opinion was expressed to ArmInfo by the head of scientific research of the Dialogue of Civilizations Institute, Professor Aleksey Malashenko.
"Such pages of history, as a rule, are very difficult to turn over. Especially in conditions of factual unsettledness of the conflict, existence of many issues still to be discussed and resolved, for which one of the parties is not ready and still speaks from a position of strength. Moreover, one of the parties to the conflict generally believes that the OSCE Minsk Group no longer exists, "he noted. According to Malashenko's estimates, the boundaries in the region have changed, but not the content and logic of the processes. The professor evaluates all these post-war realities as obstacles to the development of a constructive dialogue, worthy of cooperation between the parties to the conflict. In this light, he considers it obvious that both dialogue and cooperation are impossible, at least at this stage.
The professor is convinced of the groundlessness of all conversations about cooperation between the countries of the region in the format of six, or some other format. According to him, at this stage, the implementation of such plans seems to be unrealistic. In his opinion, one should not expect peace, let alone cooperation in the region until the entire range of issues and problems between the conflicting parties is resolved.
The Turkish President is actively voicing new ideas to create a new geopolitical status quo in the region. Of course, under the Turkish protectorate. And he does it in parallel with the next threats to Armenia voiced by "brother Aliyev".
On December 10, at a parade in Baku, Erdogan voiced the possibility of creating a "platform of six" in the South Caucasus - Azerbaijan, Turkey, Russia, Iran, Georgia and Armenia, if it desires, for the development of cooperation between the states of the region. Already on December 11, returning from Baku, on the plane Erdogan told his journalists of the support of this project by Russian President Putin. "In turn, the Armenian diplomacy faces a number of problems to be solved. Especially in the post-war period. Today, Yerevan needs to resist diplomatic strikes by building relations, including with countries with which these relations have not been built before. Flexibility and professionalism are the main qualities for defending their own interests. And this, in turn, requires serious analytical work in order to build a base for work on international platforms, "summed up Malashenko.
