According to the Editor-in-chief of Azerbaijani `3rd Opinion’
Informational-Analytical Agency Rauf Rajabov: `The two parties don’t
trust each other, they have concerns that if they take this or that
step they will lose something. If they fail to break that stereotype,
or get rid of that fear they will never come to agreement. That is why
we must try to create a system of counterbalances and guarantees and
only after that speak about the referendum, the results of which can be
acceptable for Armenia and Azerbaijan.

It is a tough issue and can be solved not by shuttle diplomacy – in
Moscow, Washington, Brussels, Paris or anywhere else, but either in
Baku or in Yerevan.’
