/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Official Baku should not agree to the conduction of
a referendum in Nagorno Karabakh, as it will lead to the loss of the
Azeri territories", former advisor to Azerbaijani President, political
scientist Vafa Guluzade stated. In his words, the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-Chairs have assumed anti-Azerbaijani position and their proposal
have remained unchangeable during the recent 10 years. "The OSCE
Minsk Group proposes Azerbaijan to resign to the loss of territories
and make manifest concessions in favor of Armenia. One of them is
the signing of the agreement on conduction of a referendum in Nagorno
Karabakh", Guluzade noted. He also expressed opinion that the mediators
"simply resorted to cunning" when proposing to hold the referendum
in Karabakh not immediately after the return of the territories but
in some 10 years. "The last census of population in Nagorno Karabakh
held during the soviet period showed that the number of Armenians
exceeded the number of Azeris", Guluzade reminded. "The referendum
would mean mechanical separation of a part of Azeri territory, what
is inadmissible. Such step is equal to high treason", he stressed,
