The conflict in Ukraine and that between Armenia and Azerbaijan are
"mirror reflections" of one another, says Ilham Aliyev, the president
of Azerbaijan.
"Had the Armenian-Azeri conflict been resolved, Ukraine might not
have faced this conflict now, because here the same scenario is taking
place: the same violation of territorial integrity, the same result,
occupation, separatism. It is as if they were mirror reflections of
one another," Aliyev said during a panel discussion titled "Beyond
Ukraine - Unresolved Conflicts in Europe" at the 51st Munich Security
Conference last Saturday.
The Armenian-Azeri conflict stayed in the shadow of other important
international events, but the Ukrainian issue attracted some attention,
he said.
The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)
has been mediating the Armenian-Azeri conflict for years but with no
result, he said. "OSCE has an ad hoc team dealing with this conflict.
It is called the Minsk Group and co-chaired by three permanent members
of the United Nations Security Council: Russia, France and the United
States. This group has been functioning for more than 22 years now
but no results have been achieved," Aliyev said.
