ArmInfo. Return of the Azerbaijani and Armenian refugees differs from
the issue of return of IDPs to Nagorny Karabakh, says Tabib Huseynov,
Azerbaijani analyst of the international Crisis Group, in an interview
with ArmInfo.

He says that all the refugees have a right to return to the places
of their previous residence. This issue must be practically settled
in future. "Nevertheless, return of the displaced persons to Nagorny
Karabakh and the nearby territories is quite different than the issue
of the Armenian and Azerbaijani refugees. Speaking of the status
of Nagorny Karabakh, we must understand that it will be legitimate
only if Azerbaijanis return there and peacefully co-exist with the
Armenians in the status they would agree with. Otherwise, no political
decision is possible," he says.
