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.
