"Though Nagorno Karabakh conflict took a definite place in talks,
held by Russian President Dmitri Medvedev to Baku, nothing proves that
Moscow is ready to bring something new, in the sense of his mediation
efforts, to the resolution of this conflict", said political scientist
Rasim Aghayev, commenting on the visit of Russian President Dmitri
Medvedev to Azerbaijan.

"Russia is mediating the Karabakh conflict resolution, it was at
the origin of arguments aroung Karabakh, it is connected with the
conflict. But now Russia seems not to have definite proposals in
promoting the resolution issue. Russia’s position is unfortunately
firm. Moscow agrees on the proposal which would be appropriate for both
sides of the conflict. But the long-term experience of the conflict
proves the opposite, – that there is no such proposal that could be
appropriate both for Azerbaijan and Armenia", said he.

"I would like to note that Medvedev’s visit to Azerbaijan came
right after the speech of President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in
connection with the celebration of the day of armed forces in which
he said Azerbaijan does not rule out possible forced solution to the
conflict. But if today the mediators are against the forced resolution
of the conflict, why they did not do anything to avert Armenia’s
aggression against Azerbaijan and the forced occupation of our
lands? The principle of non-application of force can be considered only
when peaceful efforts promote the conflict resolution", said Aghayev.
