Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan will meet tomorrow in Moscow.
As EDnews reported that the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov told this.
What will be the results of tomorrow's meeting? Can positive results be achieved in this meeting?
Whilst answering questions historian and political analyst, author of books on Britain, Turkiye, and South Caucasus, Dr. Patrick Walsh said to EDnews that the previous meetings have resulted in slow progress:
“The last meeting resulted largely in a reiteration of points agreed at previous meetings. Even Charles Michel's statement confirming President Aliyev's commitment to engage positively with Karabakh Armenians was not new. This has been Azerbaijan's position.”
“What we are seeing at present is a kind of replication of slow progress, between rival meetings/processes organized by Russia and the West. So the probability is that there will be the same reformulation of words and positions for some time to come. There are unlikely to be spectacular breakthroughs in a single meeting but slow and rather tortuous progress. This is not unusual”, he noted.
According to him, a similar peace process in N. Ireland dragged out for years with agreement taking place in stages:
“As Senator George Mitchell said recently, the easiest part of a peace process is its signing, the most difficult comes later, in its implementation.”
