/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The year of 2008 was force majéur in the Karabakh
process, an Armenian expert said.

"Russia redoubled its intermediary efforts after five-day war but its
interest is first of all conditioned by economic factors," Andranik
Tevanyan, head of political economy research center, told a news
conference today.

Russia decided to frustrate Nabucco gas pipeline construction and
promised Baku its support in the Karabakh issue, according to him.

Tevanyan also reminded about Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov’s
statement that there are a few unsettled points in the talks’ agenda,
including the status of Lachin Corridor.

"The mediators are anticipating resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict," Lavrov said in October.
