The OSCE Minsk Group does not prove its efficiency as a mediatory format in the Karabakh peace process, as it offers the conflicting parties non-existent rules of the game, Director of Russian and Asian Programs Nikolay Zlobin told NEWS.am.

“Game over,” he said, however, appreciating the role of the OSCE MG in establishing temporary peace in the region.

“Freezing conflict is one thing, which the mediators managed to do, resolving another, the Minsk Group failed to do. However, the dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group will mean the resumption of hostilities,” the expert noted.

According to him, it is the last option to be discussed, as today to win the war only by army is impossible. “Of course, the army is an important mechanism, but it is mechanism of the past. It is necessary to involve new players in the process,” Zlobin concluded.
