The Armenian and Russian sides will try to get a statement on peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict from the Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev, Director of Caucasus Institute Alexander Iskandaryan told a press conference on March 4, commenting on Presidents’ impeding meeting in Sochi on March 5.

“However, it is unlikely to happen, as I see no reason for Aliyev to make such a statement,” he said.

As for the resumption of hostilities, the expert emphasized neither Armenia nor Nagorno-Karabakh nor Azerbaijan with its belligerence want to resume a war in the conflict zone.

Referring to the Russian side’s initiative to hold a trilateral meeting, Iskandaryan stressed Moscow gained approval of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs.
