The
conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan
for Nagorno-Karabakh is one of the most difficult to solve from all existing
"frozen" conflicts. The knot of many problems interweaves historical
burden and modern reality, occupied territories, military successes and
defeats, tens of thousands killed, the fate of over one million refugees and
forced evicted citizens, and a combination of Rivalry, interests and ambitions
of the big international players. Almost 30 years since the beginning of the
conflict and a quarter of a century of attempts for its peaceful and
sustainable regulation by the OSCE Minsk Group, there is still no any progress
towards its resolution. This article gives an overview of the options available
to the conflict and the reasons for the
lack of a solution acceptable to both parties. It also presents the current
state of the conflict regulation processes and the positions of the States
involved in the conflict. It is recalled the famous maxim that success in
politics depends on achieving a balance between the interests of equally
"unhappy" countries.
The
authors share their expert point of
view on the need for compromises and
acceptable concessions from Armenia and Azerbaijan, the role of Russia, the USA
and France, as co-chairmen of the Minsk Group, as well as and active
involvement of the wider international community for a peaceful, equitable and
legal resolution of the conflict.
The
publication forecasts the future status of the relations between Armenia and
Azerbaijan. The focus is on the new aspects
in the politics of Baku and Yerevan after the last big escalation of April 2016. The current policy
of the major countries involved in the
conflict are clarified. Opportunities for sustainable conflict resolution are
presented.
