minsk group. russia in particular, has been proposing various formulas that could end the conflict for many years. they have been several formulas and all the parties to the negotiations are well aware of them, because fortunately for some reason, none of them worked out. why is that? but there were reasons that in both sides are at fault. unfortunately, there were reasons why those formulas haven't been put into action. if they had been, we say even 2 years ago, when even this war and all the bloodshed could have been avoided, well, thousands of young armenians and azerbaijanis wouldn't have died. what were those formulas? i don't think i can elaborate on any of them, especially now. i don't think it's necessary. critical. so the topic is off and yes, here's what i can tell you. none of the minsk group chairman shared back use stones . the trio had been insisting in a well argued manner that the only possible solution to that conflict is diplomacy . that's what we all had been saying to persuade

russian-speaking people in minsk. so if democracy is not an alien concept to the russians or ukrainians, why is it considered impossible for russians? andnd that patronizing reductionist. reductionist stereotyping. ambassador herbst: sandy, would you like to jump in? alexander: just briefly, the facts speak for themselves in terms of the declining andng standards, negligible negative economic growth all compounded by the drop in the oil price. so, yes, russian stagnation is here to stay because putin remains resistant to the reforms somemight at least produce su s reversal of these trends and it comes at an interesting time which points to russian realization that all of their hegemonic policies here and well, and not working becoming. increasingly costly toward russia there may be a re-think. going on other side about their harde of pushing so to dominate the eurasian regional integration project. last with the change in the administration, less able to divide europe and they may fear increased pressure for sanctions

he says, what is -- how does the crisis in minsk play itself out? a standoff between increasing repression, but also refusal of the protesters to leave the street? alexander: putin clearly faces a dilemma. he knows if he intervenes or endorses a more sweeping crackdown by lukashenko, he will permanently alienate what was historically a friendly bill belarussian people, and i think he's looking for some way to engineer a soft landing for lukashenko to exit from power. and an opposition more sympathetic to moscow to organize a transition. but that is not working out. the opposition has been surprisingly firm despite the brutality that has been used against them in weekly demonstrations. i think this will be an interesting challenge, how to engineer some political change which will inevitably lead to more responses in the street than putin is prepared to see, without seeing belarus on the path of ukraine and becoming more supportive of europe and integration and distancing itself from russia. i don't think he has found the solution. he is trying to squ
