/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Resumption of military operations in
Nagorno Karabakh is unlikely within next 5 years, at
least, said the head of RIA Novosti division for
Baltic States and the CIS.

-Azerbaijan is building up an image of `investment
attractiveness’, is trying to resolve problems with
Iran and determine status of the Caspian Sea, whose
basin includes five states, each presenting its
claims,- Alan Kasayev said in an interview with
PanARMENIAN.Net.

-I would also like to mention that the election
developments in Azerbaijan are complicated by internal
instability. The Anti-Armenian propaganda and warlike
rhetoric is used with a purpose to unite the nation.
You should nor forget that over half of the
Azerbaijani population are illiterate rural residents.
On the whole, Azerbaijan is poorly developed and
poorly educated country living at expense of oil
income. Agriculture is not developing. There is no
industry with an exception for a couple of refineries.
The whole population of the country can’t concentrate
in the capital. So, the actively created image of an
enemy is one of the elements of consolidation of the
society,- he said.
