Baku. Anakhanum Hidayatova â€“ APA. â€œThis year can be a test year towards settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflictâ€, Director-General of the Information and Analytical Center for Study of the Social and Political Processes in post-Soviet space Alexey Vlasov said at the press conference in Baku.

He said that the West was not showing direct interest to the settlement of this conflict: â€œAs you know, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited the South Caucasus region some time ago. She didnâ€™t put forward any clear proposal on the conflictâ€™s settlement. Taking into account Washingtonâ€™s interest in the region, she might have put forward a concrete proposal. As you see, the mediators have serious problems on this issueâ€.

Vlasov said that though Russia is one of the important participants of negotiation process on the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, the sides that should agree to compromise are Azerbaijan and Armenia only: â€œThe positions of the sides doesnâ€™t coincide, process reaches a dead-end. Key to the solution of the problem is in hand of Baku and Yerevanâ€.
