news, news, news. a armenia has cold on russia to deploy troops. the longest border with surveys on it comes off to renew tension between the 2 neighbors. but will moscow send soldiers? and how fragile is the fire between armenia and as john, this is inside story. ah, ah hello and welcome to the program i'm getting you navigate on the original enough nigger know care about has been disputed between as john and armenia for many years

. it's led to several incidents of violence including last year as conflict that killed thousands of people. and that's despite international efforts to bring peace to the region. armenia is now asking russia to deploy troops along its border with us or be shun. prime minister nicole passion yan says it's the only solution to allow border demarcation without further violence. russia has not made any promises yet, but the international community is urging all sides to respect the cease fire that's in place right now. while on thursday, a number of armenian and as a result were killed in the fighting. it happened to nigger no care back there, disputed region where the countries fought a war last year. as a base on defense ministry accused armenian forces of what it called, provocations, and said its army would continue to retaliate. so hostilities involving garner care about go back decades as john and armenia, 4 to 6 year war that ended in

a cease fire in 1994. then in 2016, an outbreak of violence killed dozens of people during 4 days of fighting. and last year, as conflict killed more than $5000.00 people, including both soldiers and civilians. the conflict has regional implications as well. russia has traditionally been an ally of armenia and has joined other world powers and calling for com. while turkey is backing as our base john and it's for a ministry says it will stand by bach who the, let's discuss all of this and introduce our panel in your yvonne is richard, you're a goes beyond is joining us. he's the director of the regional study center. that's an independent think tank, focus on strategic research and policy analysis in moscow, stanislaus christian who's a senior research fellow at the center for post soviet studies from back who we have a read chevy. who is the chairman of the center of analysis of international relations . thank you so much for speaking to us on inside story,

richard over to you and your yvonne y is armenia proposing that russian troops be deployed along the border with as our b. john. now what is the strategy there? well, the strategy is necessity in terms of a loss of life in the past 48. busy hours, not in the car about what an army near proper and with the incursion, it was over johnny military units in armenia, we do see a necessity to begin to stabilize. busy the situation and deter, attach from algebra, john, by turning to watching peacekeepers, the prime minister, richard nicole, pass on ya and says, the move would allow border demarcation though to be carried out without the risk of military clashes. i mean, what is the likelihood that this move actually minimizes the risk of classes when it comes to demarcation? well, on the one hand, the real answer the question depends on how laws are, but john, react. the good news, however, on the other hand,

is that the argona and government is also proposing a bilateral ball a pull back to reduce the risk of possibilities in classes, in terms of a dangerous proximity of forces. and to commit to diplomacy. engaging in diplomatic negotiations over border demarcation and not necessarily under force of arms. and we do hope that also john accepts the offer for read. how was as a baby john viewing this offer by the armenians? i think so. so we should know an underlying that the cost of all these problems, the border between i mean those that are by john a bad for 30 years. this area was occupied by our mean. yeah. we kind of lost the sense where this goes and after the war there by john

proposed to start the process of mutation and get my cation and after that it will be clear on which exact line are mediums and those are the budget should, should stay. unfortunately, so far we have not received the response, you know, and our medium size is what we hear about. yeah, we should be withdraw our troops, you know, for 30 years or by john was appealing to the international community that it's to total integrity should be restored. we have the united nations security council resolutions adopted the $993.00, which we have by john silver then over all our regions, all sides which was occupied. i think we should move towards the piece and in music, not the easy process,

but the 1st step is mutation and mark ational the board. right. ok, does that, does this step that the armenians are asking the russians to deploy along the border? does it forward the prospects of peace? you know, well the 1st of all, i guess we should mention about the russians all over the god in our maintenance more than with george. can iran now it's kind of the 3rd border by john, i'm in the, i mean you can invite russians. it's matt, silver and territory. but i, we believe that 1st should be guilty mutation because where russians exactly will state, you know, we are not in favor of getting some mala, ford and troops. i mean, we have all of the peacekeepers on in current law. but on our border, we would like to guard our water. our sales was capable of that. i think we should

start the process of mutation and then russians can be deployed on the menial site if they want. ok, national it from mostly just let me finish the latest signal for most will. they also urge for for the limitation to start the mutation process and they render assistance with that. ok, let's get the view for moscow. a center status love, a person for read was just mentioning and rightly so that there are already some 2000 russian peacekeepers who are stationed in the area. and this was after that november a cease fire agreement that took place. so what will russia get in return this time around? what is the russian strategy? so the rest of the strategy from the beginning of the conflict was to, to try to keep produced in the region seen the early 900. russia played a major role as a mediator within the means group of always see on the literal level. so

and after the 2nd war, when the women of the piece was signed, leaders of 2 countries with participation over the weekend. the main strategy was to stop the war and try to, to keep the peace in the region and to the year. we can see it. unfortunately, these post forms the question for the mediation, the border between armenian and john, which was under control during the last 2 years now the most, the whole test. and unfortunately, the most problematic issue in your move all questions which are size, trying to resolve now into the agreement and, and yeah, the question of sending russian body guards is an option. but i fully agree with that. it's not clear how to send russian troops

to the border where this border exactly go one and but additionally, it's impossible to start the process of innovation when troops on both sides stand in front of each other. oh, we did have women and we have a lot of small clashes reach now and them leading to the real question. we're using these weaponry, right. like the game here for the russians. i mean, do you think the russians are looking to stay it will depend on their process of condition, all aspects of the p 3 g because if the question of integration and speed is of what will be decided by the

next 40 years by the end of the shows viewed of russian deployment. there russia, we degree mental bridge on the media will withdraw with troops from the government . but there are several you with will be quite problematic toward chief such results who are in such a short period of time after 30 years. so full fledged constantly between our men and john rights richard, russia is allied with armenia, but it also has good relations with us or is there a risk? however, the rest could be seen as intervening on the side of armenia, and this could undermine its credibility as one of the chairs of the men's group. i don't think so because on the one hand it's both much more basic and simple but

also complicated in terms of the paradox. russia through a unilateral military deployment, the peacekeepers in november was able to stop the fighting. and even the west, even washington and brussels agrees that it is this washing deployment that represents an accidental shared interest in post war stability. and in many ways, pressure is marketing against fossil, the job, which is still an open defiance of b. moscow broker, c spider. and it's not just the border dispute. it's prisoners war in algebra, johnny captivity that have yet to be returned to our media, making it much more of a state of war. but i am optimistic. busy with a longer term, because in many ways there is no military solution going forward, the return to diplomacy. and moreover, armenia just accomplished yet another free and fair election. giving

a rare degree of legitimacy to democratically elected government and armenia that has the statesmanship and political will to make this g inspire into a lasting peace agreement. like right. if i read the men's group released the statement in which the co chairs, they said this, they reiterated the need for a negotiated, comprehensive, and sustainable settlement to all the issues. do you think that the mince group established, of course, by the o. s. c. e and chaired by russia, france as well as the united states, could still be the relevant plot form to souls. the outstanding issues see, we have a new situation in they saw horses after the war. a lot of last year, you know, mused group quote, chair elaborated so called margaret principles for the piece for the solution of the conflict. which by the way, the belief that they were all troops from other regions outside of home when i

bought a car. but unfortunately, mothers principal was not implemented and then armenian government abundance. margaret principles in the spring 2020. now we have completely new situation as by john managed to liberate it's occupied territories. and i think the means group would like to be relevant. it should come come up with the new proposals and these new proposals i think should reflect duty. alas, i'm not even the, the allison, but the principles of international law, the basic principles of international law. i think the future of the region life in the to disorder, integrity of both states, all 3 states, basically georgia. and i mean by the speaking, come out to states. i mean by john. and of course, it's hard to imagine now, but in the future it's about the regional cooperation evolve. there's some sort of

relationship so far. unfortunately, nice group chair would like to live the all sorts of stop the secretion of the stucco, which is now irrelevant after the war and after $26.00 or 7 years of english ations. so they should come with new ideas. right. and can you just elaborate briefly on what new ideas those are via you talk about your proposals, like what's yeah, my number one to the total and take it off as a budget. and i mean, yeah, that means, so there is some firms, so that in the us by john all that our boss was stipulated in the united nation security solutions. and when charter, the 2nd is the opening of the communication lines listed. busy by the agreements, it's been, i mean, by john rooker by russia,

which has to basically documents the flood ation basis, november 10th, and agreement signed in moscow on january 11th. and of course, the overall, the original corporation base again on, on the number of values sets of values. you know, like, mutual respect for more, there are some sort of the trace. but again, this is i would say freed direction, the security to the total integrity, the communication lines on the phone, on the operation. okay, so i think with res status, is that something that you agree with, the new proposal that i put forward by for read and also do you think that the men's group is still relevant enough to solve this decade long conflict means group. unfortunately didn't play active role during their, for example, for

a short war in 2016 during the 2nd kind of a warm group also was not the player which played the real important role for resolving these conflicts. and now we, yeah, we see some activity. so the sort of any vision somehow. yeah, it might help or in the future to promote some ideas for, for example, trying to build the steps to each other because russia is trying to new we team then try later. all governments commission to rule in order to implement the economical bartels for teaching of c fire. but of course, on the ground there isn't need of stamps to each other between societies. and here of course,

taken into account. huge experience of western count countries in this here it might be white, affective additional help. and more towards their final p st junior meeting ends, origin. richard both sides obviously to each other breaking that russian backseat fire. the flare ups are not new. they've been going on for decades, but what has happened in the last few days to trigger this particular confrontation? well, actually we have 2 separate color, which the wor no, brought our car off, which was initiated by algebra. john with turkey support was last year. but since may consistently, we see an inclusion biology withdrawn, military forces into the republic, a bar which has little to do with the horrible conflict. what a reasonable way forward is actually

a return to the soviet borders and the beginning of at least try a lateral negotiations over border demarcation. similar to a precedent that is working. there is a trilateral working group on regional trade in transport that can be replicated where a legal institutional foundation for border demarcation can serve as the 1st step in a word for anti diplomacy. and again, the danger here is renewed off still what needs in, in terms of escalation and expansion. the only way out of this dilemma is in return . busy to negotiation, do you have any concerns, richard, that what's been happening over the past few days can turn into another full blown military confrontation? well, unfortunately, yes, because not only doesn't constitute and contribute to a state of war, but it makes this cycle of rebranding. retribution,

very difficult to challenge for read is the political establishment and as our bijon right, nate of right now, willing to compromise is their political will to compromise. or is there simply too much at stake for their as our b. johnny's to do so, you know, the political establishment is not on the policy. the whole public was speaking about piece about the restart ational president by john to the total integrity for the case. unfortunately, we have not heard the proper feedback from people from the countries which are involved in the peace process. so we speaking now about the need for our to respectful to this all integrity of positive by john. my job is not interested in solver escalation. we need peace, we need to restore totally different spaces area. fortunately for dr. mosques,

cultural heritage, and for me, as everything was foolish on his story. now, the international journalist, immediate presents this has a chance to see have a chance to see the what was going to happen every occupied officer by john and we need peace more than anyone else. but these should come with respect for to thorough and figure out what's the most political establishment and why the public wants, you know, sort of by john, astonish law both sizes we're hearing and discussing, accused each other of you know, separate, encourages and incursions into each other's territory, how fragile is the cease fire? how would you describe it? from russia, from moscow? it looks like both ties as rise to acute each other because on the one hand, if we think about me, yeah, probably on the border, the more active player was as

a by john and it was all movie. why? because there was some progress in negotiations on literal basis and because of the parliament fallen under a company, armenia, initiations almost stopped in such circumstances. of course, there by john needed to have some progress and trying to effect or to partner through these sending troops on the border after their victory. oh, nicole, pushing them back to the 20th of june. we could see over the situation when armenia started to to, to be more pressure on their by john. and to was the source of the prices out, especially it was mentioned after the media to for example,

or presented the from there are some really sions, we friends and united states which send me your signal. now be a really just for each ration. and of course, these are, this is a drum and because any lashes any violations against their agreement from november last year, this is the reason for their approaches on negotiation. and each such clash influence on their duration of their negotiation process. it's violate of negotiations. unfortunately, unfortunately, yes, each you clash, it's a new risk for their final negotiations on the piece between their media and as a john richard further prime minister person. yeah. how is this playing out

domestically for him? because he came to power really as a revolutionary, that's how he had campaigns. so is this the biggest test of his political career? well yes. what is the test he's already passed by winning reelection and a very widely hailed free and fair election. the real challenge here for se beleaguered and battled democratic leadership and armenia is the interlocutor, the algebra, johnny's side, i've been governed by a father and son for the century. so i do think there is a discrepancy here in a contradiction. at the same time. armenia isn't this, they don't war and whether it's the prisoners still went over johnny captivity or the president of algebra. johnny military forces on arminian territory. i do expect the situation frankly to get worse before it gets better. okay, we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much for speaking to us. richard gurgles the on spanish live christian, and for read, chef a. yes,
