Russian expert: Karabakh conflict does not influence West’s foreign policy

Director of the Center for Public and Political Studies Vladimir Evseev said currently the West faces more important tasks than the Karabakh conflict resolution, the more so as its soonest settlement is impossible.

There are problems in Libya and other countries, and, finally, the West needs to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, said Evseev.

According to him, the Karabakh conflict resolution cannot bring additional dividends to the Presidents of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chair countries during election campaigns. In other words, the Karabakh conflict has no significant influence in the West’s foreign policy. Thus, it is advantageous for the West to sit on the hedge, without interfering in the settlement process actively, Day.az reported.
