"No improvement was achieved on the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh
conflict in Azerbaijan and Armenian Presidents’ meeting in Minsk,"
Russian political scientist Sergey Markedonov said.

He said that it is early to speak of any improvement, unless the
agreement is reached on Nagorno Karabakh status, the problem of
refugees and the restoration of economic relations between Azerbaijan
and Armenia.

"We can not wait for rapid solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

This process will not finish even in 20-30 years, because Nagorno
Karabakh conflict is a difficult problem," he said.

Sergey Markedonov considers that not only presidents but also
parliamentarians and NGO should participate in the talks held by the
mediation of OSCE Minsk Group, APA reports.
