АрмИнфо: В обозримой перспективе не следует ожидать существенных изменений в карабахском урегулировании, считает политолог

Ереван, 24.12.12. АрмИнфо. 

В краткосрочной и среднесрочной перспективе не следует ожидать каких-либо изменений в вопросе урегулирования нагорно-карабахского конфликта. Подобное мнение на пресс-конференции 24 декабря выразил политолог, директор Института Кавказа Александр Искандарян.

Он считает, что статус-кво сохранится в течение нескольких лет. По его мнению, причина сохранения статус-кво - не дипломатические усилия, а сохранение военного, пропагандистского и лоббистского баланса, изменение которого невозможно за один год.

Политолог также добавил, что будут продолжены встречи между официальными лицами стран-участниц конфликта. Однако, по словам политолога, формат встреч, в частности, будут ли они проходить на уровне президентов или же министров иностранных дел двух государств, зависит от того, насколько будут заинтересованы в проведении этих встреч Россия и другие ведущие акторы.

Подводя итоги уходящего года в плане внешнеполитических достижений Армении, Искандарян подчеркнул, что Ереван в целом сумел проводить чрезвычайно осторожную и взвешенную линию на фоне процессов, происходящих вокруг Армении - на Ближнем Востоке и в Грузии.

Коснувшись заявления главы делегации ЕС в Армении Траяна Христеи о необходимости выбора Арменией между ЕС и Евразийским союзом, Искандарян заметил, что сравнение этих двух организаций похоже на сравнение гвоздя с луной. " Евросоюз существующая организация с определенной политикой, это одна из самых определенных в мире политических организаций, по сравнению с которой предлагаемый Москвой проект евразийской интеграции выглядит весьма туманным. Как может Армения вступить в то, чего еще нет?!", - задался риторическим вопросом Искандарян.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
