  • Mamedyarov addressed the west to convince Armenia on NK conflict

    MAMEDYAROV ADDRESSED THE WEST TO CONVINCE ARMENIA ON
    KARABAKH CONFLICT

    On May 4 Foreign Minister of Azerbaijan Elmar
    Mamedyarov once again explained the stall in the peace
    process on Karabakh with the aggressive stance of
    Armenia. According to the Public Television of Turkey,
    he accused Armenia for prolonging the settlement of
    the conflict. He said that Armenia should be
    interested in settling the Karabakh conflict as soon
    as possible and called upon the Western states to
    convince Armenia to be more constructive.

    The inconsistence of the Azerbaijani foreign policy is
    well known. Now and then official Baku demands the
    Minsk Group to be disbanded and threatens to restart
    the war in Karabakh. Although this time Mamedyarov
    avoided warlike statements, his anxiety about
    Armenia's interests sounded rather challenging.

    However challenging Mamedyarov's statements be, the
    Western statements are not likely to swallow the bait.
    In case Azerbaijan fulfills its warlike threats and
    unleashes a new war against Armenia and Karabakh, the
    West shall consider it not only as an attempt to ruin
    the fragile stability of the region, but also as an
    attempt to take over the initiative in Karabakh
    process.

    It is obvious that in case of a new war in South
    Caucasus the prospects of the greater states of the
    world shall be ruined, and Azerbaijan shall be
    punished for that. If the West leaves unattended the
    warlike statements of Azerbaijani officials, it means
    they prefer to neglect them and not to emphasize them,
    preserving the stability in South Caucasus, where each
    of the greater states pursues vital interests.

    By the way, Mamedyarov with his accusations against
    Armenia tried to answer the April 30statement of
    Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian, which read as
    follows, "I think we made a long way in the settlement
    process of the Karabakh conflict. There is a project
    and there are the proposals suggested by the OSCE
    Minsk Group. They are the result of a long work and we
    are ready to continue the process basing upon the
    suggestions. But our readiness is not enough, we still
    need the willingness of the Azerbaijani side".
