Positive changes in the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process can be expected from the OSCE Summit in Astana, Konstantin Zatulin, Vice-Chairman of the Committee for CIS and ties with Russian Nationals, RF State Duma, Director of the CIS Institute, told NEWS.am.

The reason for positive expectations is that military operations are the only alternative to the peace process, but no one wants it. “Those calling for peace and negotiations and entertaining even vain hopes for peace can not, at least, be suspected of thwarting the negotiations because of their uncompromising position,” Zatulin said.

At present the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries are showing a unanimous approach. “Of course, approaches may differ, but I can say one thing for sure: resuming hostilities is not in the co-chairing countries’ interests. The OSCE MG member-countries have disagreements over many other issues, but they are unanimous about this issue. They have an understanding on what a final settlement should be,” Zatulin said.
