    Azerbaijan's ex-foreign ministers comment on Nagornyy Karabakh


    Azerbaijan's former foreign ministers have commented on the current
    status of the Nagornyy Karabakh negotiations, opposition daily Yeni
    Musavat said on 9 July.

    "I do believe and I am 100 per cent sure that Azerbaijan's interests
    are being considered," Hasan Hasanov, ambassador to Hungary and
    ex-foreign minister between 1993-98, told Yeni Musavat. "The essence
    of the negotiations is visible from the issued statements. If the
    negotiations focus on the principle of Azerbaijan's territorial
    integrity then it should satisfy us."

    Azerbaijan's foreign minister in 1999-2004 and currently ambassador to
    Poland, Vilayat Quliyev, said that Azerbaijan unlike in previous years
    should toughen its stance on the Nagornyy Karabakh issue: "Azerbaijan
    has a strong army now. International support to Azerbaijan has
    increased. In view of all these, Azerbaijan should put forward
    decisive demands."

    Formerly a leading specialist on the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict and
    Azerbaijan's foreign minister between 1998-1999, Tofiq Zulfuqarov,
    sees hope in the current negotiation: "There can be some opportunities
    [for the settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict]. But both sides
    should try to achieve some results. Unfortunately, even though such
    chances emerged before, but Armenia changed its position at the last
    moment which brought zero results."
