Novruz Mammadov, the head of the international relations department at
the Azerbaijani President's Administration, said that Azerbaijan has a
certain stance and action plan for the Karabakh conflict settlement.
According to him, Baku `wants' to reach it peacefully, but will `use
its right to the lands return if necessary.'
Despite Mammadov's words, all the actions and statements of the
Azerbaijani leadership indicate that Baku aspires towards anything but
for a peaceful resolution of the conflict.
With its warlike statements, the Azerbaijani leadership kills two
birds with one stone. First, it continues inciting hatred towards
Armenians among the Azerbaijani population, while Aliyev is able to
unleash a new war to maintain power. Second, it is rather possible
that these very threats prevent mediators from the final settlement of
the conflict and make them to delay the process.
On the other hand, the situation recalls a powder keg, which can
explode any moment. The mediating superpowers, which currently are on
the bit of Aliyev's presidential ambitions, may become tired of them
one day and get rid of the Azerbaijani incumbent president to solve
the Karabakh conflict finally.
