Republican Party of Armenia board member Suren Surenyants told
journalists yesterday he was informed that the next meeting of Armenian
and Azerbaijani presidents was planned to be held in 2-3 months in the
US. Further, he expects quite interesting developments in this respect.

Referring to a recent analysis by American research centre STRATFOR,
which said the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict might lead to a third world
war, Surenyants deemed it to be less likely at least for two reasons.

"Unfortunately, the governing leaders of both Armenia and Azerbaijan
are authoritarian; having no moral resources, they take manipulative
actions. Besides, they try to maintain their authority by all means
necessary, which sometimes becomes more urgent than internal affairs.

And this fact makes the international community consider such states
as unreliable partners," he said.

The second reason Surenyants said war in the region is unlikely
is that the US is well aware that some countries in the region are
against the normalization process between Armenian and Turkey, and
they can assume an undermining role.
