The OSCE Minsk Group has done all its best: contributed to the negotiation process, represented all reasonable options, but the parties have not accepted them. The mediators can do nothing more, said political scientist Zardusht Alizadeh in an interview with Turan. He also noted that the State co-chairs are not interested in resolving the conflict. Alizadeh said that the change in the status quo depends on the government and the people of Azerbaijan. If Azerbaijan wants to liberate Karabakh, it should make deep reforms, a policy aimed at ensuring peace.
By freezing conflicts Russia is trying to keep the post-Soviet space under its control, and the events in Ukraine is a bright proof of this. Alizadeh is pessimistic about the prospects for its settlement. "Either Russia will collapse, or the people of Azerbaijan must change. But I do not see any political force capable of implementing these changes," said Alizadeh. Regarding the role of the United States, if Washington wants it may violate stability, begin bloody conflicts, and vice versa, if necessary, will begin peacekeeping process. In Karabakh, the US do not what they can do," said Alizadeh. He believes that if Armenia comes out of the control of Russia, it will take more realistic approach and compromise, and the conflict will be settled.—16C03-
