The talks between Azerbaijan and Armenia without mediators may play
a crucial role in resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said at
a press conference, director of the Centre of Political Innovations
and Technologies Mubariz Ahmedoglu said at a press-conference today.
"Mediators and other leading international players delay the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement by their influence on Armenia,"
he said.
Armenia loses itself as a result of the unresolved conflict, he said.
"The country is up to its eyes in debt," he said. "People leave
the country. No one gives out loans to Armenia. In this situation,
all negotiations between Azerbaijan and Armenia may be held in
Nagorno-Karabakh. These negotiations may involve not only officials
but also businessmen. They may discuss future of the region,
prepare joint investment projects and first of all implement them
in Nagorno-Karabakh."
The Armenian and Azerbaijani communities of Nagorno-Karabakh must
closely cooperate in all these processes, he added.
"It is necessary to start direct negotiations between Azerbaijan
and Armenia, in the interests of both parties, and especially
Armenia itself," he said. "It must withdraw occupation forces from
the Azerbaijani territory. First, Lachin and Kalbajar regions must
be returned. From a geographical point of view, both regions are
contiguous with Armenia. According to our information, the total
number of Armenian servicemen is not more than 700 people there."
In autumn 2008, after several months of his presidency, President
Sargsyan said in an interview about the possibility of making
investments in Nagorno-Karabakh. Then the mediators dissuaded Sargsyan,
he said.
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.
