ArmInfo. There were talks in 2006 that a ‘window of possibility’ is
provided. Now, it is necessary to think over how to use the ‘window of
impossibility’ of 2008 to achieve settlement of Karabakh conflict,
former co-chair of OSCE Minsk Group, Vladimir Kazimirov told ArmInfo.
He believes that one must be very brave to expect any breakthrough in
2008. ‘It is connected with the election campaigns not only in Armenia
and Azerbaijan, but also in Russia and USA. Moreover, there is a
problem of Kosovo. After all, there is stalemate in the negotiations
because, as I know, the parties are progressing in some issues, but the
backbone issues remain complicate for settlement. I will be glad if
there are breakthroughs in 2008, but one should not rely on it so far’,
the diplomat said.
