"Despite the fact that the conference in Stepanakert is scientific,
and historical issues were discussed in the framework of it,
it is at the same time connected with human rights, the right
for self-determination, and it can be used as the most effective
opportunity to present own demands to the world," German Armenologist,
Doctor Tessa Hoffman declared during the conference. In the scientist’s
words, the progress in the settlement of the Karabakh conflict is
hindered by isolation of Nagorno-Karabakh from the negotiations process
and lack of analysis of the reasons of the conflict. Tessa Hoffman
considers that unlike the conflicts in Abkhazia and south Ossetia,
Russia’s role is not that essential in the Karabakh conflict.
