/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The appointment of an American diplomat who long
worked in Kosovo, to the position of OSCE Minsk Group co-chair can not
promise anything good to us. Practically, that woman is the author of
separatist Kosovo’s independence, she cannot be trusted after that,"
Azeri political scientist Araz Alizadeh said commenting on the words
of Matthew Bryza, that he will soon be replaced by Tina Kaidanow at
the post of OSCE Minsk Group Co-chair form the United States.

" Karabakh conflict is the only conflict where positions of
the U.S. and Russia coincide, this is alarming. I fear very
much, whether the superpowers have prepared a crafty plan for
us. Karabakh’s independence is the defeat of Azerbaijan, and Turkey, as
well. Therefore, I think we need to act urgently until it the situation
becomes irreversible. The powerful Armenian lobby in the U.S. and
Russia will not rest until tears Karabakh off Azerbaijan. Therefore,
we must consolidate and to respond," Alizadeh said.

Speaking about the position of Turkey, Alizadeh particularly mentioned
that now the United States is not interested in Turkey at all. "It
was an important country for the United States during the Cold War,
but now it has lost its former significance, so no one would listen
to the opinion of Turkey. We will be given these 7 territories, but
the price would be too expensive, we have bid farewell to Karabakh. In
order to derail these plans, we must prepare for war," he said.

"Azerbaijan is neither Georgia nor Serbia, we are in a better position
than they are. Russia will not benefit from punishing us fearing to
destabilize the North Caucasus, and the West – because of its energy
projects," the Azeri political scientist said, 1news.az reports.
