USA applying double standards in Karabakh settlement - Azeri pundit

The head of the Centre for Political Innovations and Technologies,
Mubariz Ahmadoglu, has familiarized reporters with his assessment
of the political situation in the South Caucasus again. This time
a considerable amount of the analytical report is given to the
geopolitical situation in neighbouring Armenia, a country which is
unfriendly to us.
However, according to Ahmadoglu, the Azerbaijani media have
lately abused the coverage of the domestic political situation in
neighbouring countries: "I think that the Azerbaijani public should
pay more attention to the situation in Azerbaijan instead of showing a
'sporting' interest in other states," the pundit said.

social spheres]
The pundit believes that the events taking place in Iraq clearly reveal
the following picture: The USA is playing the role of an international
policeman, and this is obvious at least from the fact that Iran and
Turkey are not taking an active part in the Iraq events. In turn,
Armenia, which is a historic ally of Russia, is trying to benefit
from it, involving "Uncle Sam" in the geopolitical situation in the
region. Armenian politicians openly let US political circles know
that they are ready to make various overtures to Washington.
On the other hand, Ahmadoglu believes that the USA is applying dual
political standards not only with regard to the Karabakh problem, but
also with regard to the domestic political situation in Armenia. If the
USA really wishes a fair solution to the Karabakh conflict, it should
provide financial aid to Karabakh via Azerbaijani banks. "Washington is
often talking about a mechanism of trust in the Armenian-Azerbaijani
conflict settlement, forgetting that transferring investments via
Azerbaijani banks could serve as an additional resource for a peaceful
solution to the problem. The USA's discrimination against the sides
to the conflict and the application of double standards by the USA
put a brake on the settlement process and create serious obstacles
to the region's stable economic development," Ahmadoglu said.
