AZERI DEPUTY DOES NOT CONSIDER POSSIBLE ECONOMIC COOPERATION OF
ARMENIA AND AZERBAIJAN TILL SOLUTION OF KARABAKH PROBLEM
YEREVAN, JUNE 8, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenia and Azerbaijan are in war state
that's why one may not speak about economic cooperation. Asaf Hajiyev,
the head of the Azerbaijani parliamentary delegation participating in
the BSEC PA plenary session, an independent deputy stated about it in
the interview to Armenian journalists in Yerevan.
According to him, Armenia remains out of the drafts relating to fuels
which are implemented in the region, and they must seriously think in
Yerevan about stopping the war and starting cooperation with
Azerbaijan. "We are neighbors and one can not choose neighbors," the
Azeri politician stated.
According to Hajiyev, the Armenian people did not create the Karabakh
conflict but the Armenian politicians did. According to him, the main
is the principle of territorial integrity of a state, when the
Armenian side continuously speaks about the principle of
self-determination. According to him, 300 thousand Armenians live in
Los Angeles: "What will happen if they want to constitute themseilves
as well?"
In response to a question about Azerbaijani's attitude towards
Chernogoria's separation from Serbia, Hajiyev noticed that if
Chernogoria and Serbia thought that they need separation, his country
respects that decision: "But if Armenia considers that Nagorno
Karabakh is territory of Armenia, it does not mean that it is in that
way."
According to the deputy, 30 thousand Armenians live in Azerbaijan
today, when there is no Azeri in Armenia. In response to the question
about source of this information Hajiyev answered that it is an
official datum, "and if Armenians even live with not their names, we
know that they are."
Hajiyev considered it a false information that Ramil Safarov who had
killed the Armenian officer was announced national hero in
Azerbaijan. "I myself do not protect that murder," he stated. The
Azeri politician called on "not to take separate facts and make them
basis" but to concentrate on global processes.
"I would fix my attention to the negotiations that the Presidents
lead," Hajiyev mentioned. At the same time, he stated that he had no
information about the negotiations taken place in Romania. The
politician supposed that during the long-lasting private conversation
the Presidents had discussed a number of questions which are important
both for Azerbaijan and for Armenia. He was not able to answer the
question for what compormises Azerbaijan is ready in the Karabakh
issue, stating that it is exclusive right of his country's President.
According to Hajiyev, it's necessary to make all efforts for the
Karabakh issue finds its solution in any way. He expressed a
confidence that the solution will be phasal as the problem is so
serious that it is impossible to solve it in a day. "There was a very
good proposal by the EU when they proposed that Armenian military
units leave six regions along the border and all the communications
are raised the blockade. Your country first accepted that proposal,
and then refused," Hajiyev stated. As for security guarantees of the
Armenian inhabitation, then, according to the Azeri deputy, "if the
issue is solved within those circles that Azerbaijan guarantees
security of the Karabakh inhabitation, of course, the Azerbaijani side
will keep its promise."
