YEREVAN. - The meeting of Armenian, Azerbaijani and Russian presidents in Kazan showed that Moscow’s influence on the sides of Karabakh conflict is limited, said the head of analytical center for Globalization Stepan Grigoryan to a press conference.

According to him, Kazan meeting proved that Russia might insist on a document on exclusively peaceful resolution of the conflict or on war prisoners’ exchange but never on compromises unacceptable for conflicting sides.

Grigoryan marked that the presidents did not sign a document, given the polar contradictions of the approaches. Therefore Kazan meeting put an end to the stage of “artificial optimism” in negotiations process.

Referring to Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan’s speech in Strasburg, the expert emphasized the importance of his statement on Karabakh being a part of Europe and Europe should communicate to Karabakh directly.

“This message significantly broadens the content of Karabakh conflict, which has been regarded as people’s right to self-determination under Levon Ter-Petrosyan and turned into territorial problem under Robert Kocharyan,” said Grigoryan.
