/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The International Crisis Group (ICG) organized a
discussion of Nagorno Karabakh: Risking war report with the presence
of experts.
ICG Senior Analyst on the Caucasus, Claire Delessard, in the part of
the discussion open for reporters, expressed regret on behalf of the
organization that Azerbaijani and Armenian governments do not agree to
the proposals of Minsk Group, mediating in the settlement of the
conflict, and do not prepare people for peace.
`Both sides think that time works for them. Armenia hopes that de
facto condition of Nagorno Karabakh will be substituted by de jure and
Azerbaijan hopes that it will solve the problem as a result of its
economic growth,’ she said.
Analyst said that arming of sides may make the war real. `War may
restart in 2012 – when Azerbaijan’s energy resources reduce,’ she
said.
Ms. Delessard stressed that publics of the two countries will play
great role in preventing this war.
The debates carried out with the participation of Azerbaijani senior
officials and chiefs of NGOs continued behind closed doors, APA
reports.
