Karabakh conflict settlement can be achieved: Mayilyan

15:54 / 11/28/2009`Ilham Aliyev’s warlike statements before the Munich
meeting are aimed at pressurizing Armenian side in some way and
blackmail international mediators on conflict settlement. Besides, the
meeting of Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents was the first after of
Armenia-Turkey Protocols’ signing in Zurich. It is evident, that
relations’ normalization between Yerevan and Ankara incurs displeasure
in Azerbaijan’, stated NKR Foreign and Security Policy Council
Chairman Masis Mayilyan.

According to him, the circumstances under which the warlike statements
were made should also be considered. `The statement was made to
Azerbaijani displaced people, who will be settled in North Artsakh,
occupied by Azerbaijan’, noted Mayilyan.

Armenia should carry on negotiations and insist on restoration of its
full format, that is NKR representatives’ participation, Mayilyan
reckons.

Breakthrough in Karabakh talks can be achieved through the efforts by
international mediators like in case of Balkan and South Caucasian
conflict settlements. Last year we witnessed new tendencies and think
that philosophy adopted in conflict resolution is revised. I hope that
we can settle Karabakh conflict accounting new tendencies in
international policy. Currently, we make an attempt to be back to
status quo of 1988, which is unrealistic, and should not expect any
major impetuses in settlement taking into account such approaches,"
Mayilyan noted.
