Georgia-Russian war devalued international law and territorial
integrity, Baku says

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The point is that the defeat of Georgian President
Mikhail Saakashvili on the South-Ossetian and Abkhazian fronts reduced
to mere theory Azerbaijan’s plans to re-take the lands by use of
force,’ Rasim Aghayev said.

`Georgia has compromised the very strategic formula of Azerbaijan in
the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict based on international
law. After the Georgian-Russian war, international law and territorial
integrity seem to be neglected.’

`Serzh Sargsyan, who demonstrates self-assertion after the events in
Georgia, takes into account these nuances and even so more he sees the
amenability of the Turkish leadership, which is making open steps for
unblocking the border with Armenia and establishing normal relations
with it. As result, we see that Armenia’s policy, which stakes on
ignoring the international law and openly demonstrates territorial
claims to all neighbor states, is more suitable in conditions of the
established geopolitical realities in our region. This allows Serzh
Sargsyan to put pressure on Azerbaijan,’ he said, adding that if
political and economic rapprochement between Armenia and Turkey takes
place, Azerbaijan should create a new bloc to deal with the resolution
of territorial disputes.

`Moreover in exchange for Armenia’s disavowal of territorial claims to
Azerbaijan, official Baku may start unblocking borders with Armenia,’
Aghayev resumed, Day.az reported.
