/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In fact there is no special moves in the intentions
to insert the South Caucasian states into a unified new system of
new quality, which is being declared both by the regional states and
the world community, told Manvel Sargsyan, the head of analytical
Center ‘Kavkas’ in the interview to the PanARMENIAN.Net. "In this
regard efforts of individual activity are observed. Georgia tries to
settle its relations with Russia with harsh methods and integrate to
the European structures. The President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliev put
forward a program of total isolation of Armenia, hoping that he will
be able to achieve the support of world community. And Armenia tries
to balance its relations between the West and Russia. No regional
state has time for its neighbors,’ he stressed.

In Sargsyan’s words, such an individual activation strengthens the
dependence of regional states from this or that foreign factors. "More
and more the interests of foreign powers touches this or that country
in the region. The compromise between the conflicting sides becomes
more and more difficult.

Say, more the Armenian authority speaks about its readiness to serious
compromises in the Nagorno Karabakh issue, more the Azeri authorities
strengthen their military calls. An appetite occurs to get all, not a
part through bargaining with foreign powers," the head of analytical
center stressed.

Alongside he underlined that the regional states stake not
on compromise, but on exclusive foreign support for their own
intentions. "As an example is Azerbaijan’s subject of military solution
to the conflict, which totally is put in a wider circle of necessary
means, needed to ‘return the territories’.

In October Ilham Aliev stated that "if there is no progress in
negotiation process any variants will be discussed, stressing it
means that here Baku must think about military operation". It means,
earlier he pointed that military operation is the last choice. It
needs time which on his opinion, works for Azerbaijan’s favor,"said
Manvel Sargsyan.
