“We have seen many times that the President of Azerbaijan is not
ready for concessions, and this can be explained with the public
opinion in Azerbaijan.
We should not forget, however, that the public opinion was formed
mostly with the influence of the aggressive statements of the Azeri
President,” NA Deputy Speaker Vahan Hovhannisyan said.
The Deputy Speaker considers it is irrefutable that the oil factor
has a certain role in the settlement of the Karabakh conflict. He
does not think, however, that Baku can use this as a guarantee that
no pressure will be exerted over it in any case.
“In reality, it is not that difficult to match the positions
of the parties, only Azerbaijan should recognize the right of
self-determination of people of Nagorno-Karabakh. International
experience shous that it is an applicable mechanism,” Vahan
Hovhannisyan said, turning to possible developments of further
development.
The current world processes, in Vahan Hovhannisyan’s opinion, will
at last make Azerbaijan realize the necessity of a more tolerating
approach.
