The task of the OSCE Minsk Group is to freeze the Karabakh issue to
help Armenia to consolidate in the occupied Nagorno-Karabakh, said
Fikret Sadigov, professor at the Western University and political
scientist, speaking at the third meeting of the club for political
discussion on the theme: "The focus of the Iranian-Azerbaijani
relations", held on Wednesday, according to Novosti-Azerbaijan.

"In this light the lack of real progress in the Karabakh settlement
after the St. Petersburg meeting of the Presidents of Azerbaijan and
Armenia is not a surprise", said F. Sadigov.

However, F. Sadigov suggests that the region is in anticipation of
the adoption of some important decisions on NK.

"There are agreements, scripts on the development of future events
hidden from the public behind the ongoing negotiations. It is clear
that we are in anticipation of new agreements", noted the political
scientist.

Sadykhov named the new Washington administration’s statements regarding
Azerbaijan to be a positive fact of the recent geopolitical processes.

"I consider the statement of US president Barack Obama in which he
spoke for Turkey’s EU membership to be also positive", concluded he.
