Political resources were exhausted with efforts to resolve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Director of the Centre for Political Innovation and Technologies, political analyst Mubariz Ahmadoglu said at a briefing today.
Despite great efforts having been made, the meeting of the Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian presidents in Kazan did not offer any significant results. An agreement was not signed because the organizers of the meeting had made changes to the text of the agreed document, he said.
"The collapse of the OSCE Minsk Group's mediation began," he said. "The thesis 'Status quo must be immediately changed', 'Changing the status quo is dangerous for the region' became a slogan. Attempts to arrange a meeting and a dialogue of Azerbaijani and Armenian communities of Nagorno-Karabakh remain fruitless."
He said that the Armenians do not agree with this dialogue and generally do not accept the division of the Nagorno-Karabakh communities into Armenian and Azerbaijani.
"Armenian public opinion on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is more and more inclined towards the direction of surrender," he said. "There is a subconscious feeling in society that one failed to 'privatise' Nagorno-Karabakh." He also stressed the growth of dissent in respect for the area's 'leadership'.
