/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Nagorno Karabakh conflict should be
resolved peacefully, Professor of Conflict Resolution at George
Mason University, Dennis J. D. Sandole said in an interview with
PanARMENIAN.Net.
"However, parallels should not be drawn between proclamation of
Kosovo’s independence and recognition of Nagorno Karabakh. These are
different phenomena. A new configuration has emerged: Russia’s tense
relations with Poland and Czechia over the installation of U.S. missile
defense shield and the threat of a new cold war. Globally, resolution
of conflicts would strengthen security of all regions," he said.
As to replacement of the OSCE Minsk Group, he thinks Turkey can become
an intermediary.
"This country could prove more effective that the Minsk Group
itself. Co-chairs can be helpful in case both Armenia and Azerbaijan
gain dividends from resolution of the problem," prof. Sandole said.
