Karabakh issue

“After Ilham Aliyev came to power in Azerbaijan, the process of Nagorno
Karabakh settlement came to a dead end,” Arif Yunusov, head of Conflict
and Migration department at the Baku Peace and Democracy Institute,
said in Yerevan.

Mediamax agency informed that Yunusov said this in his speech at the
“Caucaus-2004” International Congress organized by the Caucasus Mass
Media Institute. Yunusov said that that was Aliyev to call for the
Azeri NGOs not communicate with Armenia. He also added that Ilham
Aliyev frequently makes militant statements hindering the Nagorno
Karabakh settlement process.
