Director of the Caucasus Media Institute Alexander Iskandaryan told
a press conference today that the activity of the OSCE Minsk Group is
targeted at maintaining the negotiation process rather than resolution
of the conflict.

"What’s happening in the negotiation process has to do with the
process, it has nothing to do with Karabakh. The negotiation process
has its logic. It must exist, and statements should be made from time
to time," Iskandaryan said. Two years ago the Minsk Group was dead,
today it has revived, the political scientist added.

Creation of the CSTO rapid reaction forces will not have an essential
importance and cannot be used in the settlement of the Karabakh
issue. The creation of those forces was simply a message to Georgia,
Director of the Caucasus Media Institute stated.
