"West treats the ethnic conflicts in Georgia and Azerbaijan
differently", said the head of Kazakhstan Institute of Strategic
Studies, Bulat Sultanov.
"You can see that the West consistently speaks about the inviolability
of the principle of territorial integrity of Georgia regarding the
Georgian-Abkhaz and Georgian-Ossetian conflict.
And when it comes to international conflicts a little bit farther
to the east (Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict), then West suggests to
combinethe principles of territorial integrity and self-determination
of peoples " Bulat Sultanov said at the Center of Strategic Research
(CSR) in Azerbaijan.
It turns out that international law is not always treated equally
in similar situations, and world powers come from their national and
geopolitical interests.
It means that national interests are a priority for any state and
probably the most difficult is the ability to reconcile them with
norms of international law.
That is the leading superpowers or the countries that are part of
strong international organizations are skillfully protecting their
national and overall geopolitical interests in the international arena.
"In this light I believe that Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan can work out
the general strategy which will help raise the issue of the resolution
of the Karabakh conflict and other issues of regional and international
policy on the international arena.
Kazakhstan has a big potential of influencing the international
policy, especially that our countries almost do not have any disputable
questions and we have equal positions on most problems of international
and regional policy", Sultanov said.
