“I think, this also speaks of the fact that both the USA and Russia don’t perceive the situation, existent in NKR conflict zone, as a situation leading to dangerous wide-scale activities , on the other hand, the fact that the USA and Russia may come to an accord in solving serious issues, will be positively reflected on Minsk group work, and there is no need to say something new. Russia, the USA and France will work in a manner they have worked for decades, it’s another thing, that one of the parties doesn’t want to take a step back, and without it we won’t record any serious change in Artsakh issue. “
OSCE co-chairs have varying approach regarding Karabakh issue, each of them is lead by its own interest, and, accordingly, as these interests aren’t in line, no result will be recorded. Currently the US has its own interest that the situation temporarily remained unchanged, maybe till the end of election campaign and etc., after which they’ll decide what to do.

Also due to the reason, that Armenia has quiet borders with Iran and Georgia, these countries have no connection to radical Islamism, i.e. with Sunnis, as Iran is a Shia state against the Islamic State. There is an issue with Turkey and Azerbaijan, however, I don’t think at the moment Turkey may make use of radical Islamists against Armenia, and even Azerbaijan, as for radical Islamists Turkey and Azerbaijan are not upright and pure Muslim states, therefore, if all these enlarges in the region, Azerbaijan and Turkey will be the first to suffer, rather than Armenia.

What Azerbaijan does along the border, and how it glorifies murderers are also a demonstration of terrorism.
