/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Updated version of Madrid Principles is the most
favorable document proposed so far, Professor Ruben Safrastyan,
Director of NAS Oriental Studies Institute, told journalist. "We can’t
certainly say that they are 100% favorable for Armenia, but there is
certain positive progress which is in our interests. Parties should
conduct talks over those principles, and our diplomacy should make its
best efforts for making principles favorable for Armenia," expert said.

Besides, Iranian factor is taken into consideration in Karabakh
settlement talks, Safrastyan noted. "Recently, media has been speaking
about the possibility of deploying Russian peacekeepers in conflict
zone. Azerbaijan in turn advances the idea of deploying Turkish
peacekeeping forces. One thing can be said for sure: deployment of
NATO forces is out of the question, considering Tehran’s interests,"
Safrastyan stressed.
