The current political regime in Azerbaijan is a shame for the whole
civilized world in XXI century, as well as a source of violation
of the rights of the peoples living on their land for millenniums,
the statement of Talish movement, placed at Eurasia.ru in view of
release of the Karabakh conflict settlement principles, says.

‘There is no doubt that this criminal regime was created not without
assistance of the world superpowers, which are concerned over the
geopolitical interests and energy needs of the peoples rather than
their fortune. Neither Heydar Aliyev nor Ilham Aliyev could create such
an anti-people criminal regime if not assisted by these countries! We
are sure that the world will reach the moment sooner or later when
the dictators, committing similar crimes against the peoples, seat
on the bench’, the statement says.

In view of this, the Talishs call on the superpowers to come to
senses before advancing new versions of settlement of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict. Since, it should be noted that the standards
of the international law, developed by the imposing international
organizations, suppose, first of all, each people’s right for
self-determination and not just a territorial integrity of one or
another state, that is secondary as compared to the world peoples’
rights.

‘Let the heads of these states not violate the rule of the law
they develop, but focus, first of all, on creation of efficient
international mechanisms preventing suppression of a citizen’s and the
peoples’ will, that is observed in some states. It is this to change
the image of the world, and not solution of one or another conflict
in order to please the geopolitical interests!’, the statement says.

To note, the OSCE site reports that the presidents of OSCE
MG co-chair-countries made a joint statement on the Nagorno
Karabakh Conflict at the L’Aquila Summit of the Eight, July 10,
2009.The statement also says that the Basic Principles reflect a
reasonable compromise based on the Helsinki Final Act principles
of Non-Use of Force, Territorial Integrity, and the Equal Rights
and Self-Determination of Peoples. The Basic Principles include, in
particular: return of the territories surrounding Nagorno- Karabakh to
Azerbaijani control; an interim status for Nagorno-Karabakh providing
guarantees for security and self-governance; a corridor linking Armenia
to Nagorno- Karabakh; future determination of the final legal status
of Nagorno-Karabakh through a legally binding expression of will;
the right of all internally displaced persons and refugees to return
to their former places of residence; and international security
guarantees that would include a peacekeeping operation.
