OSCE will open Nagorno-Karabakh airport. Modest Kolerov

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 14, ARMENPRESS: International developments predict new political landscape for Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Moreover, in the new political situation Armenia and USA will be players of a single “team”. This conclusion was reached by candidate for historical science, Russian First Class Advisor Modest Kolerov in the article published by Rex agency, analyzing the logic of events taking place in Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan and Georgia.

Armenpress reports, author of the article noted that withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan and new relations with “post-Ahmadinejad” Iran will form a new agenda for Armenia where Serzh Sargsyan is most likely to win on February 18. “Outcome of these changes may turn into the involvement of Armenia in the transit operations of American forces from Afghanistan. That is why opening of Stepanakert airport, which once seemed to be adventurous and provocative move, is not impossible now. What about new Georgia and old Azerbaijan, they don’t seem to be trustful,” Kolerov analyzed.

“Opening of the airport will be aimed not at the recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh independence but at the independence of military and political communication around Nagorno-Karabakh which will ensure the comfortableness of OSCE and political observation missions, as well as the deployment of peacekeepers. Representatives of OSCE mission are likely to be the first passengers of the airplane of Stepanakert airport,” he noted.
