Recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh by Armenia will trigger Azerbaijan
to carry put its military threats, Richard Giragosian, Director of
Armenian Center for National and International Studies told a round
table discussion in Yerevan.
According to him, today the main thing is not the recognition
of Karabkh by Armenia, it is more important that OSCE de facto
recognized Nagorno-Karabakh and is currently holding talks on
Karabakh's status-quo and tries to persuade Azerbaijan to accept the
loss of Karabakh.
"Azerbaijani specialists should draw a new map of Azerbaijan, as
Nagorno-Karabakh will never be part of Azerbaijan any longer. The last
to understand this should be the person sitting in the presidential
residence," the expert said.
He stressed Azerbaijan will recognize Karabkh's independence, only
when oil resources are exhausted in the country or when Baku loses
a new war or a democratic regime is established in the country.
Giragosian did not rule out that another war will be needed to resolve
the Karabakh conflict.
As for the recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh by Armenia, Giragosian said
Yerevan missed two opportune moments-in 1994, during the signing of
ceasefire agreement and Kosovo's self-determination process. Today it
is important for the Armenian society to hold debates on the matter,
the expert concluded.
