YEREVAN. – To expect sooner changes in Karabakh conflict resolution is baseless, especially when Russia is not interested in its sooner resolution, political scientist Stepan Grigoryan said at a press conference on Thursday. 

“Russia apparently is not interested in the soon resolution of the Karabakh conflict. It always revives the conflict to influence later on the sides. Russia does not want the region to have a war, but it does not want to solve the conflict quicker either. This is a good way to hold both sides under its influence,” the expert stated and added that external forces attempts to accelerate the Karabakh process artificially will fail.

He added that he would have been against if Armenians tried to conquer Kirovabad. As he still thinks that Armenia has peaceful people. But it does not mean that he told the ultimate truth, Grigoryan responded to Armenian News-NEWS.am correspondent.

The last meeting of the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan on Karabakh conflict resolution took place on June 25 in Kazan.
