REACTION OF EXPERTS AND POLITICAL FIGURES ON STATEMENT OF CO- CHAIRMEN
OF MINSK GROUP ABOUT NECESSITY OF CONCESSIONS IN KARABAKH SETTLEMENT

BAKU, JULY 16. ARMINFO-TURAN. The opinion of co-chairmen of Minsk
group that Karabakh conflict will not be regulated without compromises
and concessions from Azeri side, caused negative reaction in
Azerbaijan. The “Musavat” leader Isa Gambar considers, MG OSCE
activity is not satisfactory, and position of co-chairmen is worth
while criticism. At the same time he expressed his gratitude to US
embassy for organization of the meeting with co-chairmen.

As for demarch of Vafa Guluzade, Isa Gambar supported completely the
statement of former state advisor on foreign policy that Azerbaijan
may not concede to Armenians.

The leader of AMIP Etibar Mamedov considers co-chairmen repeat
previous mistakes. He thinks co-chairmen are not interested in fair
settlement of conflict and demand concessions from Azerbaijan only.

He also supported Guluzade’s speech, reflecting actual situation.
“Co-chairmen must realize, neither Azerbaijan government, nor
opposition will yield Armenians”, – he said.

The ex-minister of foreign affairs Tofik Zulfugarov considers,
co-chairmen must criticize non-constructive position of one or another
side. He expressed regret that they do not accomplish it. As for Vafa
Guluzade’s speech, it was “emotional”. Nevertheless, Zulfugarov agrees
with some points of Guluzade statement.

Expert Eldar Namazov negatively evaluateed speeches of co-chairmen. He
considers, they do not understand the realities, and there is nothing
innovative their position. Moreover, MG OSCE is not informed about
Azerbaijan public opinion. Namazov considers speech of Guluzade was
unexpected for them. Vafa Guluzade gave very tough response, he
said.–
