The involvement of Nagorno-Karabakh in the negotiation process will
be a positive element for Karabakh, Alexander Makarov, Director of the
Armenian branch, CIS Institute, told journalists December 9, commenting
on expedience of Karabakh’s participation in the negotiation process.
“If we are talking about the present format of the negotiation
process, the conflicting parties are Armenia and Azerbaijan. It is
always more desirable for a country directly related to the conflict,
to participate in the talks. Best of all this country can present
its interests.” Makarov stressed.
However, according to him, Karabakh will not become a party to the
negotiations in the near future, as the latter is not invited to
the negotiating table. Besides, Azerbaijan is unwilling to negotiate
with Karabakh. Azerbaijan’s position lies in, not negotiating with
an unrecognized state, he noted.
