Adviser to Chairmen of Federation Council in Russia Gennady Burbulis
called Vladimir Zhirinovsky's statement unreasonable and inconsistent
with the official position of Russia.
"This statement is unreasonable and inconsistent with Russia's official
position and common sense of a politician," Adviser to Chairmen of
Federation Council in Russia Gennady Burbulis told Trend News on
Friday, commenting on Vladimir Zhirinovsky's recent statement on the
need for Russia to recognize the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh.
It is an incredible test to comment Zhirinovsky, Burbulis said.
"I would not like Azerbaijan to attach great importance to this
statement," Burbulis said.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky said in an interview with the Latvian newspaper
Neatkarigas Rita Avize that if Nagorno-Karabakh itself proclaims its
independence, Russia must recognize it.
In this regard, the Azerbaijani Embassy in Russia sent a note to
Russia's Foreign Ministry.
The Embassy expects for a formal response of Russian organizations,
Azerbaijani Ambassador to Russia Polad Bulbuloglu told Trend News
today.
The note expresses a protest against such appeals of Russian
parliamentary vice-speaker. It indicates that such remarks of Russia's
State Duma representatives do not correspond with the spirit of
relations between the two countries.
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. General Assembly's resolutions
on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the occupied
territories.
