"We do not have to sign any Madrid Document. We do not have to speak
about any mutual concessions and generally, make any step towards
resolution of the Karabakh issue," member of the presidium of the
Russian Academy of Geopolitical Studies, academician Araik Sargsyan
considers.

The studies of the academy have shown that events expected in the
South Caucasus, Middle East and Central Asia within the coming 3-5
years will result in geopolitical rearrangements. The studies hint
that the status quo should be maintained, the academician added.

The academician sees two scenarios of development of events in the
Karabakh issue. The first one is the Russian-Azerbaijani scenario
connected with the interests of Russian Gazprom and the intention to
fail the Nabucco program.

According to Araik Sargsyan, the second one is the Azerbaijani
scenario, based on the interests of the British Petroleum. This
scenario smells with blackmail and a threat of resumption of
war. However, the resumption of military actions is little possible,
because Britain is in a hard financial and economic condition and
cannot help Azerbaijan.
