'Nagorno-Karabakh has a strategic place on the map of the Caucasus,
the importance of this territory for Azerbaijan is undeniable.
Armenia does not want to return the occupied lands. Hence, time has
to force Armenia to peace. The relevant proposals should be submitted
by the OSCE Minsk Group, otherwise no breakthrough in the Karabakh
process should not be expected', political scientist Rasim Agayev said
today while speaking at a meeting of the Club of political scientists
at the International Press Center News.
The latest meeting of the ministers of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia
was held behind closed doors, without a statement to journalists. This
shows the lack of results in talks, he said.
'It is known that the main provisions of the Madrid Principles,
the idea of an interim status for Nagorno-Karabakh, and holding a
referendum in Karabakh are coordinated, but referendum remains the
stumbling block.
The president of Azerbaijan said that the referendum could be held in
10-15 years after the return of all refugees, while Armenians want to
hold a referendum immediately after the conclusion of a peace treaty.
Russia's position remains uncertain, as part of the formula "arrange
as you want, and Russia will be the guarantor of the agreement',
said Agayev.
