Aydin Mirzazade Official Baku may start direct talks with Karabakh
only if Armenia withdraws from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
'However, if there were no Armenian troops in the Azerbaijani lands,
Baku could have agreed to direct talks with Karabakh', said the deputy
chairman of the parliamentary Defence and Security Committee of the
Milli Majlis, Aydin Mirzazade commenting on the leader of the Armenian
community of Karabakh, calling himself the head of unrecognized
`Nagorno Karabakh Republic', Bako Saakyan who stated the impossibility
to reach peace without `NKR's" full participation in the negotiation
process.
'In case of withdrawal of Armenian forces from the occupied lands, the
central power of Azerbaijan would have held serious talks with leaders
of the Armenian community of Karabakh and come to the results meeting
the demands of both parties', he added.
However, the parliamentarian noted that the fact of the Armenian
occupation of Azerbaijani territories still remains. 'Therefore,
Azerbaijan, is now holding talks with the party that has occupied its
lands, that is, with Armenia', he said.
A. Mirzazade also stressed that Armenia, advising other countries to
recognize Karabakh's independence, does not take appropriate action
itself.
'Why does Armenia, an outpost of Russia, not want to recognize the
independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia? Therefore, instead of
urging Azerbaijan to take into account the decision of the Hague
Court, B. Saakyan should rather show respect to the international law
and fulfill the four UN Security Council resolutions, some resolutions
of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, as well as the
EU's resolution recognizing the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan
and calling for the withdrawal from the occupied Azerbaijani lands',
he said.
