YEREVAN, MAY 12, NOYAN TAPAN. The Nagorno Karabakh problem
will be solved through another war. Political scientist Levon
Melik-Shahnazarian expressed such an opinion at the May 12 press
conference. According to him, that war will not happen soon, as the
supplies of oil and gas in the region are still interesting for the
world. "When these supplies finish or lose their economic significance,
then we will try to solve our problems with each other," the political
scientist said.
L. Melik-Shahnazarian also said that the negotiations of Nagorno
Karabakh settlement are doomed to failure, as Nagorno Karabakh does
not take part in them. "It is impossible to make a decision without
taking into account one of the conflict sides. Armenia has never been
a side of this conflict: it just helped, supported its compatriots,"
the political scientist said. He also reminded to journalists that
NKR representatives also signed the cease-fire Bishkek agreement
signed on May 12, 1994, being a direct side of the conflict.
