The latest events around the resolution of the Karabakh conflict
apparently evidence that the international community is really trying
to elaborate more realistic approaches to the settlement. In this
regard the resent statements of the new US Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk
Group Mattew Bryza are valuable, political scientist from Karabakh
David Babayan told "Arminfo."
"Why did the mediator make public the content of the talks, which
were considered secret up until now? Why was it necessary to present
the details of the negotiations to the public? At first sight, the
seemingly illogical policy of the mediators has its logics, and a
rather distinct one. It is apparent that the scenario of settlement
of the Karabakh conflict, the essence of which was signing of some
document between the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan, showed
its ineffectiveness. Therefore, it is the time to reconsider the
approaches, which is evidenced by the statement of the US Co-Chair,"
David Babayan noted.
In his words, the fact that the details of the talks or, to be more
precise, the main elements of these became the possession of the
society means that the mediators are trying to detect the society’s
opinion regarding the scenarios suggested. Thus, the circles of the
settlement considerably extend and an attempt is made to discover the
opinion of Nagorno-Karabakh, the immediate party of the conflict,
which is not directly involved in the negotiations process at the
will of Azerbaijan.
