PanARMENIAN.Net - Karabakh conflict is a very complicated issue
linked to geopolitical situation and interests of not only Armenia and
Azerbaijan, but of neighboring countries as well, Azerbaijani-American
screenwriter, dramatist, producer and public figure Rustam Ibragimbekov
told BBC.
As the dramatist noted, the situation in Azerbaijan hampers solution
of the issue.
"When I'm trying to explain that Nagorno Karabakh Armenians must have
the same rights as Azerbaijanis and they mustn't be called enemies
under any conditions, I get accused of pro-Armenian moods."
"Seeing as human rights are blatantly neglected in Azerbaijan, with
corruption prevalent throughout the country, it's clear why Nagorno
Karabakh people have no wish to be part of it. The only solution would
be normalization of conditions in Azerbaijan - there's no other way
to persuade people," he said.
As he noted, nothing can induce Karabakh people to live in Azerbaijan
unless the attitude of Azeri authorities changes and the poepl's safety
is guaranteed. "The remaining issues have to do with geopolitical
problems which can't be solved without interference of superpowers,"
he said.
