PanARMENIAN.Net – No breakthrough is expected in the process of Nagorno
Karabakh conflict settlement unless NKR itself is engaged in it,
according to professor Ruben Safrastyan, director of the Institute
of Oriental Studies at the RA National Academy of Sciences.

“There is no sense to expect drastic changes in talks unless Karabakh
is involved,” Safrastyan told a press conference in Yerevan.

Nevertheless, the expert did not exclude that a certain document on
Karabakh is to be signed during the Kazan meeting between Presidents
of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia. “This document is not intended
to mark the end of the process but to enable creation of favorable
conditions for continuation of talks,” the expert said.

The trilateral meeting is scheduled for June 25 in Kazan, Russia.
