Political analyst Sergey Markov: “The Nagorno Karabakh conflict can not remain frozen forever”

“Russia doesn’t renounce its role in the resolution of this conflict anyway and will continue to assist it as a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group. The Nagorno Karabakh conflict can not remain frozen forever,” said political analyst Sergey Markov, APA reports. He noted that former President Dmitry Medvedev wanted to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict: “He set such a goal, made a lot of efforts, but did not achieve his goal. It is unjust that large territories remain empty and unpopulated, internally displaced people live far away from home. Of course, internally displaced persons no more live in the camps, but it is unfair that very large territories have become dead lands, no one lives there, all infrastructure has been destroyed.”

Political analyst said Russia as a co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group is trying to lead the process of settlement out of frozen condition.

“Moreover, we can not allow restart of the military operations. Along with political settlement, economic, cultural, humanitarian cooperation should be improved. Therefore, we want all the borders in the region to be opened so that the countries and peoples can start mutual cooperation,” he said.
