Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has rounded up the peace efforts in
Nagorno-Karabakh made in 2013 at a government session of socio-economic
development. The president emphasized that 2013 was the year of a
stalemate for Nagorno-Karabakh. 2014 may see an agreement signed with
Armenia, if it demonstrates a constructive approach, he said.
Aliyev said the only positive circumstance was the opinion voiced
by co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk group that the status quo in
Nagorno-Karabakh is unacceptable. He reminded that Armenia was to
fulfill the four resolutions of the UNSC, leave the occupied lands,
restore territorial unity.
Rasim Musabekov, an Azerbaijani MP and political analyst, all elements
of a peace agreement were clear and were only a matter of political
will. He predicts that complicated economic conditions in Armenia
may encourage it to be more open for negotiations.
The expert noted that Azerbaijan will host the first European Olympic
Games in 2015, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the so-called
Armenian Genocide of 1915. Armenia and Azerbaijan will most likely
abstain from using force before the Games. Musabekov blames Armenia
for exile of about a million people who were driven out.
