\"I don\'t think OSCE MG activities should be optimistically or
pessimistically expressed. We should acknowledge that the conflict
should be settled by the conflict sides,\" Russian political expert
Albert Zulkharneev referred to NK conflict resolution in a talk with
\"Day.az He said neither Moscow, nor Washington or Paris could do
anything if their recommendations are disliked by the conflict
sides. The expert said the conflict can be settled only by the
conflict sides.
\"I\'ve been Baku recently, then I met with Armenian representatives
in Moscow, and, I should point, regretfully, that the dispositions
of the sides are far from being close,\" Russian expert said.
To the question how Russia would act if a war starts, he said:
\"Everything depends on the situation. Moscow understands they have
no other ally except Yerevan, and if they don\'t support Armenia,
they would have tough disposition beyond the CSTO states.\"
