Baku. Anaxanim Hidayatova - APA. "The main goal of the conference
is to analyze ongoing processes in South Caucasus during the last
20 years, to draw a lesson from this experience and to share the
ideas on vision of future formation", Director of the Center for
Strategic Studies Farhad Mammadov told journalist at the international
conference entitled "Joint efforts for the sake of Caucasus` future:
Past 20 years and its lessons", organized in Baku by the Center for
Strategic Studies under the President of Azerbaijan and magazines
"Caucasus International" and "Turkish Policy Quarterly" on Thursday.
Mammadov said that many processes occurred in South Caucasus during
the last 20 years: "Two countries in South Caucasus - Azerbaijan and
Georgia are successfully developing and they have enough resources
and opportunities for vision of future formation. But there is one
republic that was isolated from other countries due to its foreign
occupation policy and it was kept out from international business
projects. Armenia's state budget has increased by 13, 8 % since 2006,
but Azerbaijan's budget increased by 2, 5 times and Georgia's by 2
times. These figures show that there is no economical progress in
Armenia. 20-40 thousands people leave Armenia every year. We want to
show the public community that Armenia went down like a lead balloon
due to its occupation policy and it must withdraw from its foreign
occupation policy. We are ready to live together and Nagorno Karabakh
as a part of the Republic of Azerbaijan will be provided with a high
status and only after the conflict solution Armenia will have some
economic improvement".
