If after the forthcoming meeting of the Presidents of Azerbaijan and
Armenia in an informal CIS summit, scheduled for May 8, Armenia will
agree with updated Madrid principles, a stage of a great peace treaty
will be launched, chairman of the Center for Political Innovation and
Technologies Mubariz Ahmadoglu said at a press conference on Tuesday.
"If the Armenian side does not sign the document, the updated Madrid
principles can be delivered to the UN Security Council, where the
fifth resolution related to the Nagorno-Karabakh can be taken",
Ahmadoglu said.
Political analyst said that if this is impossible, then Azerbaijan
will have no option but war.
"The Azerbaijani President did everything for the conflict to be
resolved peacefully. Afterwards, the responsibility for war rests on
Armenia, U.S, France and Russia", Ahmadoglu said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994.
The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the occupied
territories.
