/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azeri political scientist Mubariz Ahmedoghlu
stated that the OSCE mission report over fact finding on settlement
of territories adjacent to Nagorno Karabakh is not acceptable to
Azerbaijan. In his opinion, the mission made an honest effort,
however, «the OSCE Minsk Group in its political decision inclined
the processes in favor of Armenia – the Nagorno Karabakh government
was allegedly engaged in settling population, not the leadership of
Armenia.» In Ahmedoghlu’s opinion, the decision aims at assisting
Armenia in the talks, «to exonerate the occupier country.» «In
this case there is no one guilty as Nagorno Karabakh is not a subject
of the international law and thus cannot be called to account on the
Helsinki Convention, in compliance with which the settlement of the
occupied territories is prohibited. If the document had mentioned
Armenia, sanctions might have been imposed and pressure might have
been put upon the occupier country. By means of this report the OSCE
Minsk Group merely saved Armenia a danger. In fact, everyone knows
that a considerable part of the assistance being provided to Nagorno
Karabakh goes to Armenia. Even if «Nagorno Karabakh» was engaged in
the settlement, it is clear that it is being done by means and with
the assistance of Armenia. It is strange that knowing it, the Minsk
Group has tried to save Armenia from responsibility,» the political
scientist noted. According to Ahmedoghlu, from the point of view of
that stand of the Minsk Group the report cannot be considered fitting
the interests of Azerbaijan. Having noted the need of a repeated
raising of the issue in the UN, the political scientist said in his
opinion the document will reach the stage of discussion at the UN
Security Council, however the possible veto by Russia or the US will
be a serious message to Azerbaijan. «This means time has come to
understand that the Minsk Group is not interested in resolution of
the conflict at the current period,» Ahmedoghlu noted, adding that
«Armenia’s tactics lies in maximally protracting the talks.»
