/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is
possible only through efforts of Russia, Turkey and the United States,
the powers which can seal a regional bargain, a Russian expert said.

"Practice shows that there are three ways of development: lingering
conflict (Transnistria), use of force (Georgia’s actions in South
Ossetia) and Kosovo model (regular unilateral proclamation of
independence with subsequent recognition)," said Alexei Mukhin,
director general of Russian center of political information.

"All three variants have advantages and disadvantages. In case with
Karabakh, it will most probably be the Kosovo model, which will
originate a bunch of negative consequences," he said.

Mukhin also remarked that there is an opinion that Russia, U.S.,
Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan are not interested in resolution of
the conflict.
