The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) will return
Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan, Center of Political Innovations
and Technologies head Mubariz Ahmedoglu said at a press conference
on Thursday.
He said the declaration adopted at the last meeting of the CSTO states
that the Helsinki Final Act contains three well-known principles on
the Nagorno-Karabakh issue.
"It's not about the principle of self-determination. It is the unity of
peoples, which means that in determining the status of Nagorno-Karabakh
Azerbaijani and Armenian communities of Nagorno-Karabakh have equal
rights," Ahmedoglu said.
The political scientist said that the declaration of the CSTO have
been prepared in accordance with the UN Charter.
"The importance of the declaration is in the fact that Azerbaijan
is not a CSTO member, while Armenia is. That is, the organisation,
which includes Armenia, forces it to agree to the resolution of the
conflict within the framework of international norms," he said.
Ahmedoglu said the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is
now at an important stage.
"The CSTO will return the Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan. Armenia is
not included in the number of states that solve the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict. Conflict will be resolved directly through negotiations
between Azerbaijan and Russia. These negotiations are likely to be
conducted with the help of the CSTO," Ahmedoglu said.
He also noted that the only issue related to the post-Soviet space
and being solved in the Collective Security Treaty Organization is
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"After the CSTO declaration Armenia will not be able to change the
position of Russia," Ahmedoglu said.
