Official Baku is ready to compromise within the framework of the
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan in the resolution of Karabakh
conflict.
The statement came from Azerbaijan's Deputy FM, personal representative
of Azerbaijani president on the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh
conflict, Araz Azimov.
He was speaking to Echo Moskvy radio station.
He said the maximal position of official Baku is to restore full
sovereign control over the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan.
'It is not merely the restoration of the territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan but the direct establishment of vertical sovereign control
over this area and regulation of population there. Azerbaijan made a
step to the middle of the bridge and said it is ready to flexibilities,
implying different models of self-government for the population of
Karabakh within the Republic of Azerbaijan. This is the flexibility
within the framework of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. We are
ready to this and we have gone to the middle of the bridge', he said.
According to Azimov, Armenia today continues taking an extremal
position aimed at separating Nagorno Karabakh from Azerbaijan.
'They do not conceal it, they speak of independence all the time. On
the other hand, all those positions that Armenia is now trying to
apply in the resolution process, are targeting not preservation
of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and Karabakh in its
framework, not reintegration but disintegration. And the fact that
Sargsyan has recently been speaking much of that Azerbaijanis will
not return to Karabakh, proves this. Azerbaijanis in Karabakh would
mean restoration of the regional demography, restoration of equality
of the two communities in the region', the deputy minister said.
He said return of Azerbaijanis to Nagorno Karabakh is an objective
factor of involvement in the life of this region, its restoration
and creation of new grounds for definition of the legal status of
Nagorno Karabakh.
The deputy voiced hope that the Armenian leadership would review its
positions on the conflict and start being constructive in talks.
