    KARABAKH SPECIALIST IN POLITICAL STUDIES CALLS REPORTS OF
    INTERNATIONAL CRISIS GROUP ONE-SIDED


    STEPANAKERT, SEPTEMBER 28. ARMINFO. A well-known Karabakhi specialist
    in political studies David Babayan thinks one-sided the report of the
    International Crisis Group "Nagorny Karabakh: on the spot of the
    conflict."

    He emphasized that the references to Azerbaijani sources (officials,
    refugees, resettled-people, publications etc..) in the report trice
    exceeded similar sources from Nagorny Karabakh and Armenia. The
    report presents the conflict as a territorial dispute between Armenia
    and Azerbaijan. Moreover, Nagorny Karabakh is presented here as a
    fully militarized formation depending on Armenia. Meanwhile,
    Azerbaijan is presented as a victim. The number of Armenian refugees
    is reduced and that of the Azerbaijani refugees is stressed. All
    these approaches are the official position of Baku. Babayan thinks
    senseless mentioning all the other one-sided provision of the report.

    "While in NKR, the representatives of the International Crisis Group
    spoke of quite another philosophy of the report," Babayan says. The
    specialist thinks the greatest part of the provisions were included
    in the report as a result of a strong pressure on the group after it
    had visited Azerbaijan.

    For conclusion, David Babayan calls it naive thinking such an
    approach a diplomatic victory of Azerbaijan. "It could only "comfort"
    official Baku, making no contribution to settlement of the conflict."
