    PRE-ELECTION SITUATION AFFECTED BAKU POSITION ON KARABAKH ISSUE

    11.07.2005 04:06

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ In the opinion of OSCE Minsk Group former Russian
    Co-Chair Vladimir Kazimirov the proposal by official Baku on joint
    operation of the transport communications is addressed to the voters
    and international community. `Azerbaijan is preparing for the
    parliamentary elections and the calculations already affect Baku's
    strategy on the negotiation process', Vladimir Kazimirov said in a
    conversation with Vremya Novostey Russian newspaper. In his words,
    Armenians who are not influenced by the elections are more restrained
    in assessing the negotiation process. Kazimirov also noted that
    despite its belligerence Azerbaijan started mentioning of some trust.
    V. Kazimirov reminded of Baku's proposal on joint control over the
    highway connecting Aghdam and Nakhichevan. `The problem of
    communication in the conflict region is important, however it is not
    the key to the conflict settlement. Official Baku wishes to partially
    control the Lachin corridor connecting Armenia and Karabakh. During
    17 years Azerbaijan has been imposing blockade on Armenia and Nagorno
    Karabakh and the blockage tells on other states as well. He also
    noted that the status of Karabakh and the `liberation of the
    territories seized by Armenia 11-2 years ago during the hostilities'
    still remains the core of the dispute.
