Azerbaijani analyst: Resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict easiest by CIS
Azerbaijan, Baku, May 13 / Trend I. Izzet /
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict could be the simplest and easiest to
solve in the CIS. Its resolution just requires the political will of
the co-chairs of the Minsk Group of the OSCE or strong parties moving
towards determining the aggressor, Director of the Centre for
Political Innovations and Technologies, political analyst Mubariz
Akhmedoglu told Trend.
According to the analyst, since the beginning of the Karabakh
conflict, the arguments have been frequently changed. It is a sign of
weakness and inexactness on the part of the Armenians.
"Armenians cannot correctly identify the beginning and emergence
conditions of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. They start the countdown
of the beginning of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict with the Sumgayit
events of February 26, 1988. However before Sumgait, a lot had
happened.
Armenians increased the frequency of their trips to Moscow after
Gorbachev came to power highlighting the Nagorno-Karabakh problem.
Gorbachev's adviser on economic issues A. Aghanbekyan offered to join
Nagorno-Karabakh to Armenia for the salvation of the Soviet economy.
This proposal, published in the French newspaper Humanite, meant
linking the economic problems of the former Soviet Union with the
national ones.
The events in Armenian Gugark occurred before the Sumgayit events.
About 300,000 Azerbaijanis were expelled from Armenian terrritory. On
February 20, Armenians shed the first blood. Two young Azerbaijanis
were killed in Asgaran. These are the facts," Ahmadoglu said.
He added that at one time the Armenians convinced the U.S that the
Jews live together with the Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh and
Azerbaijan destroyed the Armenians and the Jews. That period, the
Jewish factor was the most urgent issue. At present, the Armenians use
the thesis of a Christian country surrounded by Muslim countries.
He stressed that at present the Armenians are afraid of the
Azerbaijani term 'Nagorno-Karabakh' because it completely proves the
falsity of the Armenian allegations. Armenians replace the
'Nagorno-Karabakh' term by 'Artsakh'.
"Armenians often change their arguments based on lies because of their
hopelessness," he said. "This shows their weakness, but the
international community thinks about the complexity of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. They say that it is impossible to solve it.
As soon as the first practical action is taken in the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict settlement, those who think about the complexity of the
problem will realise how wrong they were. The main thing is to take
the first practical step."
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding
regions of Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. are
currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the occupied territories.
