Alexei Vlasov, head of expert group at information-analytical center of the Lomonosov Moscow State University pointed out the key moments in Armenian President’s visit to France, and also about the possible military actions between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Vlasov believes that Serzh Sargsyan’s visit to France will have a few key points, among which will be the discussion of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
“In the current situation this is due to several trends for the South Caucasus direction, and this visit can be measured in terms of strengthening relations with the EU, in terms of problems of Armenian-Turkish rapprochement, or ratification of the Ankara-Yerevan protocols, and also from the point position of the European Union, and France on the Nagorno-Karabakh problem “, – said A. Vlasov
“I think that will once again raised the issue of” genocide “, although not yet entirely clear in what context. The moments I’ve pointed out, will be the most important. For Armenia, it is important to assess the position in Paris. I believe, that this is not only a working visit, but is also a strategic one” noted the analyst.
Vlasov also does not did not exclude the resumption of hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan, but believes that the conflict will quickly be erupted.
“I still stick to my opinion that at present time,the possibility of renewed military action is possible, yet the international mediators will try to make every effort to stop it from growing. In the first couple of days, the CSTO and the structures that serve as a European peacekeeping organizations will make utmost efforts to extinguish the conflict.
And we are not even talking about the CSTO support, but rather a change of its role as an organization, that will, above all, try to minimize the military and political costs of the conflict. There is some truth to these judgments, but I would give them a somewhat different interpretation” Vlasov concluded.
