"The uncertainty of the Moscow declaration protracts the conflict
resolution which may become a cause for Azerbaijan to undertake
military revenge", said expert of Mitk analytical center Edward
Abramyan.
He said the declaration has not a legal power.
"The Moscow declaration can not be considered a positive event at
least because its paragraphs do not fix Nagorno Karabakh as a conflict
party. We should not forget that only Nagorno Karabakh, under the
agreement in Dushanbe, has a right to hold talks with Azerbaijan
on the conflict settlement. Signing of any document by Armenia is,
in fact, illegitimate from the legal point of view", said the expert.
Abramyan also considers that the "uncertainty" of the document creates
an impression of the secret agreement between the parties.
"Paragraph 3 according to which the parties are bound to settle the
Karabakh problem on the basis of international principles is too
dangerous for the Armenian side in this declaration, though it is
not a legally binding document.
This paragraph is, in fact, not only unclear but also incorrect,
as it does not fix the international principle to be used in the
conflict settlement.
The document is inaccurate, therefore, creates an opinion that there is
another agreement regarding the future of the self-declared Armenian
state. Perhaps, the sides have already agreed about any concessions,
which is not declared to the public, in order not to frustrate the
plan", said the expert.
Abramyan warned the Armenian government of concessions in the issue of
"the liberated lands".
"As the current leadership of Armenia does not realize the importance
and the factor of the liberated lands, which were not a part of NKAO
in the Soviet period, there appears an event according to which there
is a certain oral agreement between the parties.
Moreover, the 2007 Madrid proposals, which are spoken of in the
declaration, are dangerous not only for the permanency of rights and
liberties of the Armenian population of Karabakh but also for the
Armenian statehood, as the Madrid agreements base on plans of return
of the occupied lands with the delay of the moment of the definition
of their status. Possible ceding of some territories by Armenia will
be perceived as an extreme incompetence of the Armenian leadership",
considers he.
"Obviously, after a part of the lands is ceded, the enemy will demand
the second part and in the end he will attack us in order to prove
his military superiority and settle the historical injustice for
normal idealogical and psychological development of our nation",
noted the expert.
