Senior fellow at the Institute of Oriental Studies at the RF Academy
of Sciences, Andrey Areshev said that the situation in the Karabakh
conflict resolution has a significant tendency toward deterioration.

“The upcoming meeting of presidents in Sochi is important, as it is
aimed at either giving a new impetus to the negotiations or preventing
the worst scenario’s development,” Areshev said during Yerevan-Moscow
TV space bridge.

The Russian expert also expressed hope that both Azerbaijan and Armenia
will confirm the stance aimed at a peaceful resolution of the conflict.

Director of the Armenian branch of CIS Institute Alexander Margarov
noted for his part that Russia, as a mediator in the Karabakh conflict
settlement, tries to bring the parties to signing some preliminary
document, which could serve as a basis for the final agreement on
the conflict peace resolution in future.
