Russian expert: Unlike Brussels, Moscow can offer military and  political solutions

ArmInfo. Unlike Brussels, Moscow can also offer the parties to the conflict, military-political solutions and scenarios for the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh  conflict.  Vladimir Evseev, Head of Caucasus Department of the CIS  Institute told ArmInfo, commenting on the Pashinyan - Aliyev upcoming  meeting scheduled for December 15, is in Brussels.

" In fact, this is the strong position of Russia. I would also like  to highlight Moscow's interest in a complete and final settlement of  the conflict between Armenia and AzerbaijanIt is important to note  that the Russian Federation acts as an international mediator in this  process, and not as a supporter of any party. And yes, it is Moscow  that today remains the only player capable of reaching at least some  compromises in resolving the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, "he  stressed.

Evseev characterizes the current processes between Yerevan and Baku  through the mediation of Moscow as a search for attempts at economic  cooperation and unblocking of transport corridors. However, other  global players and regional forces, according to him, are not helping  Russia in all this. Moreover, the expert sees attempts of a rather  strong influence by Turkey on Azerbaijan, as well as by the United  States, France and Great Britain on Armenia, with the sole purpose of  weakening Russia's influence in the South Caucasus.

Nevertheless, despite all the complexity of his own situation,  despite the consolidated external pressure from Washington, Paris and  London, the same Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, according  to Evseev, is still ready to go by looking for a solution to issues  with Azerbaijan. According to the expert, the situation in the region  and the pressure that is being exerted on him by the Armenian society  pushes Pashinyan to such a tendency to compromise. And now it is  important that Baku also expresses its readiness for this compromise.

"We understand the impossibility of avoiding the aggravation of the  situation around Karabakh. However, if a working mechanism is created  for delimitation and demarcation of borders following the meeting of  the leaders of the three countries in Sochi, it will be possible to  reduce tension at least on the borders of Armenia and Azerbaijan. The  situation in Karabakh will still periodically escalate , but it is  fundamentally important that in Sochi the parties managed to go  beyond economic relations and discuss not only unblocking transport  corridors, but also creating a delimitation and demarcation  mechanism. But it is not yet clear how and when it will work, "the  expert concluded.
