Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has no political solution that would meet
all parties’ interests "without what they call losing face," the
Co-chair of Russian "Just Cause" party Leonid Gozman told Day.az.
"I know exactly that this conflict is not the one that can be solved
by a magic wand," he added.
Gozman says he sees resolution of the conflict differently. "Some
unresolved issues are negotiated for 30 years. In other words,
the parties may agree in a written form or orally to return to the
solution of the conflict after some time," he told Day.az.
In this case, the parties might discuss a number of issues, leaving
aside this problem.
"The core of my offer is to establish initial contact between the
two countries, which, I think, is much more important today," the
politician stated, underlining that the point is establishment of
diplomatic, trade-economic, cultural, ecological and other ties.
Russian politician considers that the conflicting parties might
reach an agreement in the near future. However, the agreement will be
related more to the normalization of regional situation on the whole,
than directly Nagorno-Karabakh status.
