ArmInfo. "Compromise" of Azerbaijan may not be compared with a
compromise as the Armenian party understand it as well as with the
compromise suggested by the OSCE Minsk Group, commander of National
Strategic Research Institute under Armenian Defence Ministry,
Mayor-General Hayk Kotanjan said in an interview with press-service
of Defence Ministry when replying to the question about chances of
reaching compromise between the Armenian and Azerbaijani parties.
He also added that despite the norms of comprehensive international law
Baku does not recognize initial international subject of the NKR. At
present the Azerbaijani party makes statements that a compromise from
its party is limited only with an accord to continue consultations
with Armenia on the Karabakh issue, Kotanjan said and added it is
known that Azerbaijan rejects an opportunity of direct dialogue with
the NKR. He also said that in the public policy Azerbaijan not only
disrupts the intermediary mission of the Minsk Group but also does
not respond to recommendation of the Council of europe to start a
dialogue with the NKR (PACE Resolution 1416 dates 25 January 2005),
although the NKR is ready to start a dialogue with Azerbaijan. 'In
fact Baku's position is objectless and has no prospect.
Statement about full adherence of Azerbaijan to the principles and
norms of international law are incorrect. If this openly revanchist
position of Baku does not change, there are miserable chances to
reach compromise between the parties to the Karabakh conflict at the
present stage', - Kotanjan said.
