Azerbaijani leadership fundamentally changed foreign policy
in connection with the double standards of the West in the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, U.S political analyst, journalist,
expert on South Caucasus Samson Katzman said in his report at an
international conference in Tel Aviv on the theme "Asia: the media
and regional conflicts".
"Despite this, under the influence of Armenian lobby, mostly in
the U.S., some leaders of this country, as well as their friends
continue to put pressure on Azerbaijan and Turkey. It is seriously
hampering the normalization of the process and at the same time leads
to the emergence of new hotbeds of conflict. The obvious example is
Georgia", Katzman said, the Azerbaijani State Committee on work with
the Diaspora said.
Politicians, journalists and public figures from the U.S., Germany,
Russia and Ukraine participate in the conference. Organizers are
the Azerbaijani State Committee on work with the Diaspora and
the International Association Azerbaijan-Israel. Chairman of the
committee Nazim Ibrahimov and representatives of the Azerbaijani
media participate in the event.
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.
