Baku's rhetoric in the Karabakh peace process is unlikely to change
after Ilham Aliyev's re-election as President of Azerbaijan, Artak
Zakaryan, MP from the ruling Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), Head
of the Parliamentary Commission on Foreign Relations, told ArmInfo.
Zakaryan thinks that at the current stage of negotiations Azerbaijan
is evidently unable to promote its interests to the full extent and
to dictate its own rules, because the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs cope
with the task of observing the rules and conditions of the process
well enough.
He added that during the election campaign the incumbent power tried
to use the anti-Armenian rhetoric for propaganda purposes. But now
that Aliyev as been re-elected president, he could as well prepare
his own people for peace. "One should take into account that the
destabilization of the situation in the region will prove costly for
the Aliyev regime. His society will not forgive a new war. Military
settlement of the problem will undermine the positions of the Aliyev
regime. The balance of forces in the region gives Azerbaijan no
guarantees for military victory", he said.
