ArmInfo. Change in Russia’s policy may lead to radical changes in
Karabakh process, Richard Giragosian, director of the Armenian Center
for National and International Studies (ACNIS), said at a seminar in
Yerevan. He said breakthrough in settlement of the Karabakh conflict
may not depend on Yerevan or Baku, OSCE Mink Group or Stepanakert.
Possible change in Russia’s policy from pro-Armenia to neutral
position may influence the process. This will promote relations of
Russia and Azerbaijan. In addition, Russia will hereby demonstrate
to America and Europe that it can cooperate more constructively,
the expert said. He believes that such possible change in Russia’s
policy is the only factor Armenia is not ready for and in such case
Armenia will not have a response or lever of counterbalance.
