If we view the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia in Nagorno
Karabakh through the prism of events in South Ossetia, the most
important is that the release of Armenian-occupied Azerbaijani lands
will proceed differently than in Georgia, said Aydin Mirzazade,
member of parliament, member of the political council of the Yeni
Azerbaijan party and political scientist.

According to him, Azerbaijan will use both military and diplomatic
efforts. "At the same time, conditions are different here-in South
Ossetia, we see a purely separatist regime, while Nagorno Karabakh is
part of Azerbaijan, occupied by another country, which is Armenia",
said the political scientist.

He noted that Russia had repeatedly voiced support and recognized
the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

"I do not see problems for future. Our peoples are friends and the
relations between the countries are good and are constantly developing
and the commodity turnover is growing. There is no misunderstanding
between Azerbaijan and Russia. Azerbaijan wants to see Russia as
its friend and Russia wants the same. I think Azerbaijan will use
its sovereign rights while releasing Nagorno Karabakh", concluded
Mirzazade.
