YEREVAN. – The status in Karbakh will be maintained especially after Armenia was forced to decide in favor of Customs Union, deputy director of Caucasus Institute Sergey Minasyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

“I do not think that any serious breakthrough in Karabakh process is possible in 2014, because it is not stipulated either by geopolitical context around the South Caucasus, or internal political and socio- political processes in Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan,” political analyst said.

Minasyan is convinced on the background of the events in post-Soviet space, leading foreign actors will do their best to get rid of any kind of headache.

“Accordingly, the status quo is also advantageous to external players, particularly in the current situation in the post-Soviet area. So I do not expect anything special in Karabakh settlement next year,” he added.
