The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will stay unresolved as long as it is
used for political purposes, Rector of
Sorbonne University Gerard-Francois Dumont said during a scientific
conference Minorities and Conflicts in South Caucasus.

There are also problems of refugees and status. In the case of refugees
there is certain inequality as Azerbaijan refuses to acknowledge the
existence of Armenian refugees. The problem is that Azerbaijan is not a
democratic state. That’s why the Nagorno-Karabakh problem is used for
political purposes. Azerbaijan must stop spreading lies and must
recognize the existence of Armenian refugees.

The problem of status is the prerogative of the Nagorno-Karabakh
people. Each state can be considered independent if it has institutions
that guarantee its independence. Nagorno-Karabakh cannot be considered
independent and will not be until it finds guarantors of its
independence: for example, the foreign states who have officially
recognized the independence of Nagorno- Karabakh.

One more solution to the problem is federative Armenian state.
Preservation of the status quo is also a solution but it is not good as
it cannot last for ever and is a constant source of new conflicts.
