Baku. Etibar Mammadov - APA. "I think that James Warlick's proposals
reflect the US approach to the conflict. In general, I think it's
a normal approach, and I want to believe that the U.S. position on
this issue will remain constant", Vice-Speaker of the Parliament of
Azerbaijan and Head of Azerbaijan's Delegation to the OSCE PA Bahar
Muradova told APA.
Commenting on the 6 principles by U.S. Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk
Group James Warlick on the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, Bahar Muradova noted that Azerbaijan also sets its
positions forth in the negotiation process: "We know that the
principle of territorial integrity and self-determination of peoples
has its particular consistency within the principles of the Helsinki
Final Act. Self-determination can be achieved through not violating
territorial integrity. Therefore, if the US maintains this position
following this balance and takes necessary steps for it, then it might
be possible to get closer to peace. Today, if Warlick presents the
position of the US as a super country for taking into consideration
that the international law is under threat, not for eliminating
criticisms against his co-chairmanship, then we may believe it would
yield any result.
B. Muradova stated that some proposals will cause protests in Armenia:
"Because Armenians don't unambiguously accept in a positive way
the issues related to Lachin corridor, protection of Azerbaijan's
independent and sovereign rights, return of the regions which are
considered security lines for Armenians and return of the displaced
persons to the territory till the settlement of the status. By all
means they prevent its realization through prolonging negotiations. I
am sure that they will protest against this too".
