/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's statements can
be explained by the world crisis, which certainly affected
Azerbaijan's economy and also by a new trend of the Karabakh conflict,
which emerged after adoption of the Moscow declaration, according to a
Russian expert.
In an interview with RAI International Italian language channel, Ilham
Aliyev stated that the declaration `doesn't contain a provision
reading that Azerbaijan obliges to refrain from a military resolution
of the conflict and therefore, any kind of measures, including use of
force and admissible.'
`The world crisis did affect Azerbaijan and under the circumstances,
unsettlement of the Karabakh conflict can be used as a tool
distracting the population from urgent issues,' Andrey Areshev, expert
at the Strategic Culture Foundation, commented to a PanARMENIAN.Net
reporter.
`After adoption of the Moscow declaration, the OSCE MG co-chairs
showed inclination to include Nagorno Karabakh in talks. They also
seemed to share Armenia and NKR's concerns that their security will be
jeoparadized in case of unilateral concessions on their part. At that
same time, Azerbaijan could cherish illusions that Moscow compels
Armenia to unilateral concessions. In this context, Aliyev's
statements look like extra psychological pressure on
Armenia. Incorrect interpretation of the international law and ongoing
threats nullify the outcomes of Moscow talks,' he said.
`Besides, Aliyev did not take into account that he gave his interview
in Italy, a leading EU state which is extremely interested in peaceful
resolution of regional conflicts in the Caucasus,' Areshev said.
