/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `Armenia and Azerbaijan should
refrain from setting impracticable demands and
conditions. We should work for a lasting outlook to
prevent a new war,’ Azeri political scientist Rauf
Rajabov told reporters Monday.

`Azerbaijan adheres to a peaceful resolution of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict and principles of the Prague
process. It expects some breakthrough in 2008,’ he
said.

`Transferring the Karabakh issue to the UN, Azerbaijan
thought of it as an organization where problems like
Kosovo are resolved,’ he said.

When commenting on referendum on Karabakh
independence, he said both the Armenian and Azeri
communities should take part in it. `In my opinion,
referendum should be held throughout Armenia,
Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh to have objective
results,’ he said, Novosti Armenia reports.
