"Sooner or later Nagorno Karabakh will be under the control of
Azerbaijan, which has economic power in the region", Israeli political
analyst, Senior Fellow at the Israel's Immigration Ministry Vladimir
(Zeev) Khanin said in his interview with APA. He said Israel would
never recognize the independence of Nagorno Karabakh or its annexation
by Armenia: "Everyone knows that Azerbaijan is the best partner of
Israel in the region, but Armenia is the best partner of Iran.
I consider that the new armed conflict is not within the interests of
both countries. This is a protracted conflict. The Nagorno Karabakh
conflict will be solved de facto. The economic integration will play
important role in this and finally Nagorno Karabakh will remain within
the country with strong economy because this country will offer better
economic opportunities to the population of Nagorno Karabakh and the
problem will be solved finally.
In the contemporary world, the international law is without decision
after the wars and colonialism. To what degree it is just or unjust,
but everybody agrees with it. The regulation of relations between
Israel and Arab countries is based on colonial boundaries. For example,
Israel-Lebanon borders were drawn by Britain and France while they
were dividing the Ottoman Empire after the World War I.
Israel-Jordan borders were also drawn by Britain, but no one
recognized the green line between Israel and Palestinian Autonomy as
a border. Nagorno Karabakh belonged to Azerbaijan. If it declares
its independence today and claims that it has its borders, Israel
will never recognize its independence or its annexation by Armenia.
Tomorrow they will ask Israel why it doesn't recognize the Palestinian
borders?!
The self-determination principle in the international law is
not based only on establishing of separate country. The form of
self-determination can be the national autonomy, national cultural or
national personal autonomy. Again, the question is about the political
will of the sides".
