/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Any meetings and talks – are already boon even
if they bring no result. Much worse if the sides have no wish and
possibility to meet and hold talks, let us take Georgia and Russian,
for example," Chief of the Department of CIS Countries of the Russian
Institute of Strategic Research, Candidate of Historical Sciences
Alexander Skakov said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net. In
his opinion the potential of the Armenian-Azeri dialogue has been
exhausted. "Meetings at the presidential and ministerial level are a
positive phenomenon but expecting the leaders to make halfway would be
impracticable now. In my opinion, the problem of the Armenian-Azeri
relations is the ill will of the peoples heated up by the history
and patterns of the politicians. At the same time we are neighbors
and will remain such," he said.

"The task of the peaceful process is to establish dialogue between
the publics. In this case the terms of the Karabakh settlement, let it
be 3 or 30 years, becomes not so important. The security zone and the
actual front line can be maintained until they become unnecessary. May
be it seems fantastic but I do not see any other way of settlement
at present. I do not think that the leaders of the two states should
dedicate their meetings to the search of a universal compromise. They
have better improve the atmosphere of the Armenian-Azeri relations. For
example, establishment of transport communication should precede the
conflict settlement," the Russian analyst said.
