/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Both the U.S. and EU hope for successful
resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and normalization of the
Armenian-Turkish relations, a Russian expert said.

"Nevertheless, they want it to happen through their mediation. European
countries and organizations, such as NATO, EU and OSCE want to be
direct intermediaries in settling conflicts in the Caucasus in order
to expand their influence throughout the region," senior lecturer
at Saint-Petersburg State University, deputy editor at the Center of
Oriental Studies, Ph.D. in history Alexander Sotnichenko said in an
interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

At that he noted that there is no system of international relations
which could regulate the world politics on the basis of universally
recognized international law. "Each event is interpreted from the
position of strength and benefit. Since 1991, the ideas of "state
sovereignty" and "right of nations to self-determination" have been
interpreted one-sidedly by the world powers. Both Nagorno Karabakh
and Transnistria can be internationally recognized if their longing
for independence will coincide with strategy of one or several world
players. The case with Nagorno Karabakh is demonstrative: I can’t name
a power which is interested in recognition of this territory," he said.
