Analyst: No `six principles' exist in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement
Azerbaijan, Baku, May 20 / Trend I. Izzet /
A document entitled 'Six Principles' does not and never has existed.
The updated Madrid principles has an integral part which includes six
articles, the director of the Centre for Political Innovations and
Technologies, political analyst Mubariz Ahmadoglu told Trend on
Monday.
According to the analyst, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward
Nalbandian declared his country's readiness to sign the six
principles. The statement made by him in Paris, was apparently the
result of pressure on official Yerevan exerted by France on the issue
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict." the analyst said.
Updated Madrid principles released in July 2009 on the official
website of the U.S. president in a form of a joint statement of the
presidents of the three co-chair countries consists of a preamble, six
articles and summary, Ahmadoglu noted.
"The essence of this document is that part of the occupied Azerbaijani
territories should be freed immediately and Nagorno Karabakh will be
gradually returned to Azerbaijan. Now, in order not to look guilty in
the eyes of Armenians, Nalbandian changed the name of the updated
Madrid principles to 'Six Principles' Ahmadoglu said.
Making this statement, Nalbandian could pursue two purposes, the
analyst believes.
"First of all, the European Union is forcing Armenia to sign the
updated Madrid principles. Armenia is forced to reckon with the EU. If
Armenia signs the updated Madrid principles, the EU will hold a donor
conference which is expected to collect aid for Armenia to the sum of
1.5 billion euros. Second by changing the name of the updated Madrid
principles to 'Six Principles', Nalbandian wants to upset Azerbaijan
to make the latter to refuse to sign the document. Eventually Armenia
will convince the EU that by signing, it is Azerbaijan not Armenia
which does not want to sign the updated Madrid principles," the
analyst added.
