YEREVAN. - Azerbaijan runs stubbornly a policy to remove Armenia from
regional projects and isolate the country, expert Andrei Areshev told
Armenian News-NEWS.am commenting on the Azerbaijani MP Asef Hajiyev's
recent statement that Baku will not cooperate with Yerevan.
"The Azerbaijani position has for many times been voiced on the highest
level, including the President Ilham Aliyev. It is not news anymore,"
the expert said.
Asked why the highest administration of Azerbaijan voices
periodically controversial statements by claiming readiness to
establish humanitarian contacts and at the same time rejecting any
cooperation with Armenia, the expert said that it is due to the
inactive reaction by the international community, experts, analysts,
who give it an opportunity to act like that.
In order to balance the situation and establish equality in the South
Caucasus, Armenia is better to promote more initiative in the formation
of the regional agenda, Areshev believes. As the agency has earlier
informed, the Azerbaijani MP Asef Hajiyev, who is in Armenian capital
city, said on Wednesday that Azerbaijan is ready to cooperate with
everyone except for Armenia, until Azerbaijani lands "are occupied."
Azerbaijani delegation is in Armenia within the frameworks of the
39th plenary session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea
Economic Cooperation (PABSEC).
