ArmInfo. The negotiation process over the Nagorno- Karabakh conflict
settlement has lasted more than a year, and this year already
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said that Azerbaijan expects certain
breakthrough in the negotiations in 2008, irrespective of the results
of presidential elections in the two countries. This means that
Azerbaijan remains committed to the peaceful Prague Process.
Editor-in-Chief of Azerbaijani "Third Sight", analyst Rauf Rajabov said
in his talk with ArmInfo correspondent.
The analyst thinks that Armenia should contribute to involvement of the
main institutes, the UN and other international experts in the
settlement of the conflict. "Let us admit that everything that took
place over the past few years haven’t brought us to the settlement of
the problem. Actually, we are in the place we were several years ago.
The progress is that Azerbaijan expressed its willingness to provide
Karabakh with the highest degree of autonomy, like Tatarstan’s status.
As for the self-determination offered by Armenia, it is neither a
status nor a form of state", the analyst noted. To hold a referendum in
Karabakh, the Azeri people should return to Karabakh and get integrated
into the society where mechanisms will be created to ensure security
for all the parties, the conflict resolution expert said.
"Different relations should be established in our region to prevent
wars in Karabakh and not to let our descendants turn to this problem
again and solve it", he said.
