TAHIR TAGIZADE: "ARMENIA NOT INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATION OF ANY INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS IN KARABAKH ISSUE"

MFA Press and Information Policy Office Chief Tahir Taghizade talks
about the latest development in negotiations process in the exclusive
interview to Day.Az.
"There are several versions of Armenian Foreign Minister Oskanian's
refusal from a meeting with Elmar Mammadyarov. First, a conscious
step wich leads up to the situation when Mr. Oskanian, as he hopes,
will dictate his terms. This will not happen.
Second version - this statement has been made to satisfy different
political forces inside Armenia.
Third variant - weakness of its own position and attempt to resort
to political demarche as the last method to change situation.
All these three variants can be see with unaided eye.
But for me one thing is absolutely clear - expediency of Azeri
and Armenian Foreign Ministers' meetings is determined by OSCE MG
Co-Chairs. If Mr. Oskanian decided to take it upon himself I would
advise him to inform about it OSCE first.
Armenian side hopes that international community will agree with
status quo and accept it as a variant for protracted conflict.
Certainly, Armenian's dream will not come true. And it's particularly
very unpleasant for them that the UN, organization previously adopted
four resolutions demanding immediate withdrawal of occupation forces
from occupied territories, returns to this issue again.
In my opinion, all these are the reasons for obscure and peremptory
statements of Armenian side.
I don't think that Armenia will leave negotiations process. It will be
very hard for them to explain it to international community as long as
Armenia assumed obligations demanding implementation of constructive
policy towards restoration of stability and security in region of
South Caucasus.
If the sides and OSCE MG Co-Chairs will come to a conclusion that
all possible resources for peaceful settlment of the conflict are
exhausted, Azerbaijan will have to resort to different ways of
returning the occupied territories.
At least, Azerbaijan is clear in its mind not to resort to the
non-diplomatic and nonpriority decision yet."
