EITHER RUSSIA COLLAPSES OR AZERBAIJANI PEOPLE CHANGE: AZERBAIJANI EXPERT ON KARABAKH CONFLICT
02.12.2015 11:24 epress.am
The OSCE Minsk Group which deals with the peaceful resolution of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has done everything possible to promote
the negotiation process, has proposed all reasonable options,
however the two sides have not accepted them. The Minsk Group is
unable to do anything further, said Azerbaijani political expert and
Armenian-Azerbaijani peace resolution process participant Zardusht
Alizadeh in an interview with the Azerbaijani Turan agency.
At the same time, as reported by Contact.az, the expert stressed that
the co-chairs of the Minsk Group, Russia, US, and France, are not
interested in the resolution of the conflict. According to Alizadeh,
Russia is trying to freeze the conflict in an attempt to leave the
Post-Soviet space under its influence; "The situation in Ukraine is
striking proof of that."
According to the expert, the Azerbaijani people and government are
able to change the status quo. "If Azerbaijan wishes to liberate
Karabakh, then they must implement deep reforms toward a policy of
securing peace. Either Russia needs to collapse, or the Azerbaijani
people must change. But I don't see a political power cabable of
implementing such changes" noted Alizadeh.
Alizadeh believes that in order to reach a peaceful resolution,
Armenia must come out of Russia's control, which would allow the
country to take a more realistic stance and lead to compromises.
In regards to the US, Alizadeh said that "if Washington wanted,
stability could be violated and bloody conflicts could begin. And
the opposite, if it wanted, a peace process would begin. The US is
not doing what it can in Karabakh."
