Deputy Director of Azerbaijan`s Center for Strategic Studies gives
interview to Turkish Today`s Zaman newspaper.
'The situation between Azerbaijan and Armenia could be resolved if
all of the parties involved realized the fact that the paradigm of the
21st century promotes multi-ethnicity and unity in diversity,' deputy
director of the Center for Strategic Studies under the President of
the Republic of Azerbaijan, Gulshan Pashayeva told in her interview
to Turkey-based Today`s Zaman.
Pashayeva noted Turkey and Azerbaijan are cooperating on a variety of
issues pertaining to the South Caucasus region and adds that currently
more should be done in order to solve the knotty issue that exists
between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh. Pashayeva says
that Armenia should realize that today`s realities are much different
from those of 1994.
'Azerbaijan has greatly developed politically, economically and
militarily since then. Balance of power between Azerbaijan and Armenia
has dramatically changed.'
According to Pashayeva, should there be any kind of progress on
Armenian Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh then it will be
possible to open the borders to Armenia from both sides, the Turkish
and Azerbaijani sides, which in turn will benefit all parties in
helping them further prosper.
Regarding the Turkey-Azerbaijan relationship Pashayeva agrees that
there is room for further cooperation in all levels. For example she
mentioned that two Centers for Strategic Studies (SAM) from Azerbaijan
and Turkey signed Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in March
2011 in Baku and it provides an excellent opportunity for further
fruitful cooperation.
The strategic cooperation in the energy field is another important
one for both Azerbaijan and Turkey, according to Pashayeva, and
the relationship in this field is also developing. She mentions the
pipelines of Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum where Turkey,
Azerbaijan and Georgia are in full cooperation in the energy field.
