    Media Center, January 30: `Everything depends on decisions. Being
    dependent on external forces, Armenia and Azerbaijan are not the
    countries that may choose war', political scientist Manvel Sargsyan
    claimed at the discussion entitled `Recent Incidents along
    Armenian-Azerbaijani border: Expert Opinion' initiated by the
    Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR) at the Media Center.

    Sergey Minasyan, political analyst and deputy director of The Caucasus
    Institute, said that recent incidents along Armenian-Azerbaijani
    border aimed to raise the profile of the military operations.

    Manvel Sargsyan assures the philosophy that negotiations should be
    held in tension and not in peacetime had been reflected along
    Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

    `The conflict along Armenian-Azerbaijani border is permanent. I see
    nothing extraordinary, the information is misinterpreted and
    exaggerated by mass media', said Kenan Guluzade, the Editor of
    =80=9CBaku Post' (Bakupost.az) Newspaper, who joined the discussion
    via video-call. He doesn't see connections between recent incidents
    and the change of Minister of Defense of Azerbaijan, although the new
    minister introduces a new policy.

    Avaz Hasanov from International Working Group for the Release of
    Prisoners and Hostages and the Head of the Society for Humanitarian
    Research in Azerbaijan added in his turn that the political
    authorities realized that peace slogans had no affect on society.

    `Our previous minister was quite inert', Kenan Guluzade noted, `the
    recent incidents can be considered for the new minister as a ways to
    improve the image of inaction formed in the society. The public mood
    is not peaceful. Azerbaijan is ready for war'.

    On January 30 a discussion on `Recent Incidents along
    Armenian-Azerbaijani border: Expert Opinion' took place at the Media
    Center. The speakers of discussion were Sergey Minasyan, political
    analyst and deputy director of The Caucasus Institute, Manvel
    Sargsyan, political scientist and director of the Armenian Center for
    National and International Studies, Kenan Guluzade, Editor of Baku
    Post Newspaper and Avaz Hasanov, head of the Society for Humanitarian
    Research in Azerbaijan.
