Political resources reach stalemate with Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

Political resources were exhausted with efforts to resolve the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, director of the Centre for Political
Innovation and Technologies, political analyst Mubariz Ahmadoglu said
at a briefing at the press centre of Trend news agency today.
Despite great efforts having been made, the meeting of the
Azerbaijani, Armenian and Russian presidents in Kazan did not offer
any significant results. An agreement was not signed because the
organisers of the meeting had made changes to the text of the agreed
document, he said.
"The collapse of the OSCE Minsk Group's mediation began," he said.
"The thesis 'Status quo must be immediately changed', 'Changing the
status quo is dangerous for the region' became a slogan. Attempts to
arrange a meeting and a dialogue of Azerbaijani and Armenian
communities of Nagorno-Karabakh remain fruitless."
He said that the Armenians do not agree with this dialogue and
generally do not accept the division of the Nagorno-Karabakh
communities into Armenian and Azerbaijani.
"Armenian public opinion on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is more and
more inclined towards the direction of surrender," he said. "There is
a subconscious feeling in society that one failed to 'privatise'
Nagorno-Karabakh."
He also stressed the growth of dissent in respect for the area's 'leadership'.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno- Karabakh region and seven surrounding
districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. are
currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
