/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Heydar Aliyev was a realist. When he raised the
issue of Karabakh, he meant only 7 regions without NK. Return of the
regions was a priority to him, Russian Co-Chair of the OSCE MG for
settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict in 1992-1996, Ambassador
Vladimir Kazimirov stated in an interview with a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter. In his words, Ilham Aliyev concentrated too much just on
the NKR. "When he speaks of inviolability of borders of Azerbaijan,
he does not fully understand what he stands up for," he noted.
The diplomat underscored that all principles fixed in the UN
Declaration of 1948 and confirmed by the Helsinki Agreement are of
equal value - this also refers to people's right to self-determination
and inviolability of borders. "It should not be forgotten that those
principles were adopted after WWII, when any territorial change
could result in a large-scale war. This principle does not work at
present. Aliyev believes those principles as a dogma and thus finds
himself in a deadlock. To say nothing of his militant rhetoric cripples
moral foundations of the society, suppresses the minds of the young
generation," the OSCE MG former Co-Chair said.
