As known, political science identifies the following methods of conflict resolution: conflict resolution as a strategy aimed at reaching a compromise, conflict resolution as a strategy aimed at eliminating the cause of the dispute [1, 2]. Each of them can be discussed in negotiations on the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. We are interested in the humanitarian side of the ongoing negotiations and their implementation. Before considering the methods and models of the negotiation process, including the participants and mediators of the Karabakh issue, we will briefly recall the model’s content used in political modelling and forecasting.
Taking into account the humanitarian aspect of the political negotiation model.
The possibilities of political analysis greatly expanded after the Second World War. In the new world order, analysis and forecasting possibilities directly impacted each country’s further development. Gradually, a system of approaches and methods has developed, including a systematic approach to analysing the political situation. The system approach is based on the model formation process. Based on modelling, it is possible to predict the direction of development of a particular political process. Here, it is critical how we approach the amount of information used to create a political scenario. It requires a comprehensive multifactor approach that takes into account many conditions and factors.
Any model is an independent object consisting of material components (material model) or symbols (ideal model). The relationship of the model with the object under study is characterised by simplification and rejection of elements, properties, and relationships that are not important from the point of view of the work’s goals and objectives [10]. Complex models can represent the object under study as a whole. Of course, the negotiation process is a complex model — the elements must always be systematised, and the relations between them clarified. The systems approach is essential in this regard. L. von Bertalanffy developed the basics of the systems approach at the beginning of the last century. The systems approach involves the complex development of connections and relationships between the system elements. The same applies to the negotiation process.
