It would be so naГЇve to expect the full resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the nearest 3-5, or 10 years. The settlement of regional and ethnic conflicts is a very difficult process, Jeyhun Mollazade, the President of the президенС' US-Azerbaijan Council, told Trend
In 2006 the Untied States, as an OSCE Minsk Group co-chair, which functions as a mediator in the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict tries to achieve peaceable solution to the conflict and is eager to see progress in this process. Of course, the co-chairs are intended to make Armenia to make definite compromises. In its turn Azerbaijan has made to compromises. So, the United States, Russia and France are to make Armenia to go to compromises. Id note that they have so few chances to do it. The well-organized Armenian lobby actively functions throughout the world. For instance, the pro-Armenian positions dominate at the U.S. Congress, nevertheless, the UIS government conduct balanced policy. The influence of the Congress is very strong in the United States. Here it is almost impossible to press on Armenia, or take sanctions against it, but persuade this country. It is necessary to explain Armenia that Karabakh conflict will be resolved, future of Armenian residing in Europe and the West will be excellent, Mollazade underscored.
If Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is resolved and regional cooperation is set up among Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia and these three countries could enter the Euro-Atlantic area. At present Russia has forces which come out against it. In case of resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict they might lose influence on Armenia. As to U.S. position, Mollazade said that the resolution of Karabakh conflict does not depend on the United States. The United States tries further continue putting efforts in to achievement solution to the conflict. However, the United States cannot work wonders in the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The process develops in the real platform and is based on the exiting realities, Mollazade underlined.
