    Rasim Musabekov: "International community does not see Nagorno
    Karabakh on the political map of the world"

    21 February 2008 [10:39] - Today.Az

    "Serbia will recognize Kosovo's independence in the framework of the
    European Union within 5 years".



    The influence of events, connected with unilateral recognition of
    Kosovo independence and presidential elections in Armenia, on the
    resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno Karabakh
    was discussed at a regular session of the Public council for the
    resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    The due information is provided by Novosti-Azerbaijan with reference
    to the press-secretariat of the Azerbaijani National Committee of the
    Helsinki Civil Assembly.

    Political scientist Rasim Musabekov noted, commenting on the Kosovo
    issue that it depends on the preservation of regional balance.

    "As for the Karabakh issue, its solution had not been found befire
    the Kosovo. The difference between the said conflicts is that the
    international community sees Kosovo on the political map of the
    world, unlike Nagorno Karabakh.

    I think Russia and the United States have different approaches to the
    issue. America tries to influence its allies, raising ethnic
    problems. Russia also does not want the settlement of the problem in
    an attempt to preserve the quo status.

    Unlike them the European Union is for the resolution of such
    conflicts. It should be reminded that our lands were occupied not
    formally or on basis of any principles but with the use of Russian
    weapon. In this connection I consider that we should not support
    Russia's position on the issue", Musabekov noted.

    "We have a definite basis in the Karabakh issue, the world learned
    about Azerbaijan in connection with the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
    NATo was terminating Serbs, while now Washington reports termination
    of Albanians, and this make it impossible for the representative of
    both nationalities to co-exist peacefully. The main purpose of the
    United States is to hinder the development of its allies. Washington
    has no permanent friends, it has permanent interests. In this sense
    Albanians could be compared with the Karabakh Armenians. It is
    possible to return Karabakh theoretically, if an enlightenment work
    is carried out", he added.
