"Resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict in the real political
perspective, both short-term and middle-term one, is impossible",
said director of Caucasus Mass Media Institute Alexander Iskandaryan.

"Resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict in the real political
perspective, both short-term and middle-term one, is impossible,
no inclinations to it are observed", said he during the
Yerevan-Moscow-Baku vide bridge Wednesday.

Iskandaryan considers that the gap in military and economic potentials
often not plays any role.

As an example, the Armenian political scientist noted that in line
with the world practice, conflicts, such as Kashmir, Cyprus, Taiwan,
are not settled too quickly.

"Difference between Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh, taken together,
and Azerbaijan and absolutely incomparable with the difference
of potentials of Taiwan and China or Kashmir and India, but these
conflicts are frozen and have been so. This remain for decades",
noted the political scientist.

"On the other side, unfortunately, there is no peace, but on the other
side, people are not killed and there is no war", noted Iskandaryan.

Speaking about economic benefits of the conflict resolution,
Iskandaryan noted that no one believes in it. "There is no real profit,
but there is also no real threat. No one in Armenia believes that
Azerbaijan can enrich and conquer us", said the political scientist.

He considers that all differences can be smoothed if parties
really want peace. "Not victory by way of peaceful negotiations,
but peace, when we all, the people who want peace in our region,
make compromises", noted Iskandaryan.

He said inclination for compromise, but not for protecting of our
interests, should appear in our societies.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
