Expert of Brussels-based European Policy Centre Amada Paul does not expect considerable breakthrough from the Kazan meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani leaders.

According to her, however, the lack of progress after the Kazan meeting “would be undesirable” as that will seriously affect the entire peace process.

“It will become a negative signal indicating lack of political will necessary to advance the process,” Paul told in an interview with 1news.az. “After many years of discussions and debates on basic principles it is high time to move to the next stage.”

If it does not happen, there is even no hint that anything may change at all and it is better to return to the initial point as the basic principles cannot be discussed forever, she added. The expert noted that the more time passes, the harder it is to find a solution “as the gap between the parties increases, it becomes irresistible, thus making war a possible scenario.”

“War will be disastrous for the entire region,” Amanda Paul stressed at the same time.
