The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will stay unresolved as long as
it is used for political purposes, Rector of Sorbonne University
Gerard-Francois Dumont said during a scientific conference Minorities
and Conflicts in South Caucasus.
There are also problems of refugees and status. In the case of refugees
there is certain inequality as Azerbaijan refuses to acknowledge the
existence of Armenian refugees. The problem is that Azerbaijan is not
a democratic state. That’s why the Nagorno-Karabakh problem is used
for political purposes. Azerbaijan must stop spreading lies and must
recognize the existence of Armenian refugees.
The problem of status is the prerogative of the Nagorno-Karabakh
people.
Each state can be considered independent if it has institutions that
guarantee its independence. Nagorno-Karabakh cannot be considered
independent and will not be until it finds guarantors of its
independence: for example, the foreign states who have officially
recognized the independence of Nagorno- Karabakh.
One more solution to the problem is federative Armenian
state. Preservation of the status quo is also a solution but it
is not good as it cannot last for ever and is a constant source of
new conflicts.
