Ilgar Mammadov 'Azerbaijan should seek end a policy of mutual
understanding with our northern neighbor', said Political analyst
Ilgar Mammadov.
Chances for progress in peace talks on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
have decreased several times compared with the previous year and
reached a minimum for many years, says co-founder of the civil movement
"Re: AL!", Political analyst Ilgar Mammadov.
'For several years we have witnessed high activity of Russian diplomacy
in the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict. But now we can
say that the Russian initiatives were not serious, and served as a
cover for other purposes', said Mammadov.
'The main purpose of the visit of President Dmitry Medvedev to Baku was
the desire to alleviate that negative in our bilateral relationship,
which began to come out after the St. Petersburg summit.
But still, people in Azerbaijan, have strengthened in the belief
that there is no fundamental change in Russian policy in the South
Caucasus since the 19th century', said the analyst.
'Azerbaijan should seek end a policy of mutual understanding with our
northern neighbor, as it has not brought tangible results in resolving
the conflict with Armenia, and resume a course on Euro-Atlantic
integration, which we conducted in 1990', Mammadov said.
'When in country's hard 90's we managed to resist external pressures,
why now when the country is many times stronger, must we fear that the
return to the Euro-Atlantic course would make us vulnerable?' he said.
