The Karabakh problem resolution directly depends on Azerbaijan’s
joining the NATO, he former State Adviser of Azerbaijan on foreign
political affairs, a political expert, Vafa Guluzade, said, the
"Day.Az" Azeri Agency reports.

Talking of the military manoeuvres of Karabakh forces near the contact
line, V. Guluzade expressed an opinion that these manoeuvres are an
attempt to pressure Azerbaijan by Russia and not by Armenia.

"Otherwise saying, Moscow makes it clear to Azerbaijan that it may
again send the Armenians to us any time . It is concerned with the
process of Azerbaijan’s integration to the Euroatlantic structures,
being developed successfully enough. NATO requires more rapprochement
from Azerbaijan. However, we are balancing yet, develop neighborly
relations with Russia, cooperate with it and are frostily integrating
to the NATO at the same time", the ex-State Adviser said. He added that
Azerbaijan has to undertake more ponderable steps in this direction
to satisfy Brussels and Washington. Therefore, no wonder that Russia,
being afraid of our rapprochement with the North-Atlantic Alliance,
tries to use any versions to put pressure on Azerbaijan. "Armenia I not
the state which stands against us in the Karabakh conflict. In fact,
this state is Russia, while Armenia is just a tool in its hands",
Guluzade said. As for the hopes for the Karabakh conflict settlement,
the political expert has connected the real progress with the further
extension of NATO to the Caucasus.
