YEREVAN, DECEMBER 1, ARMENPRESS: The position of the international community stems from the interests of the Nagorno Karabakh, expert, political analyst Manvel Sargsyan said today at a meeting with journalists, adding that this positive position is conditioned by intolerant attitude toward application of force.
“I think the general aspects of regulation of the NK issue will be pointed out in Astana, too, but no concrete agreements will be gained,” the political analyst said, adding that it is not secret for anybody who unleashed the war and who is the true aggressor.
Mr. Sargsyan said that the OSCE, which has been set up after the world war, solving its main issue, which is – to provide security in the Eurasian territory, has lost its influence lately; that is why Russian President Dmitry Medvedev states today that there is a need to restore the former influence of the OSCE. “There is certain negative attitude in Armenian public opinion toward the concept of OSCE summit, which is mainly conditioned by the associations with the 1993 summit in Lisbon,” Mr. Sargsyan pointed out.
“Director of “Public Civil institute” NGO Hovhannes Nikoghosyan said that the OSCE remains the guarantor of security area from Vancouver to Vladivostok.
“If a comprehensive document concerning the European security is adopted in Astana, then it will have a big influence on further strengthening of regional security,” Mr. Nikoghosyan stressed, attaching importance to the statement of the Russian President in Astana, according to which the rights of the civilians living in conflict regions must be respected.
