Russian political expert:

The Karabakh conflict and the problem of the Armenian-Turkish relations will be always discussed but not settled, Russian political expert Aleksey Malashenko said during today's round table "Through the large border. The prospects of development of the region outside the closed borders", in Yerevan.

"I respect the people which want to find the way out, but these issues do not have the way out", - he said.

"We have been always talking about the Armenian-Turkish border, but nobody knows how it looks like theoretically. For some people the border is a form of self-protection, for others - form of attack", - Malashenko said and added one should go on settling these issues with optimism.
