The Armenian leadership is speeding up negotiations, as it is morally ready for compromises with Azerbaijan on the issue of border delimitation, Azerbaijani political analysts believe, adding that Baku will meet Yerevan halfway on economic issues, but under no circumstances will agree to discuss the status of Nagorno-Karabakh.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Yerevan is ready to resume negotiations with the participation of the OSCE and treats them as a guarantee of restoring security in Karabakh, Prime Minister, Nikol Pashinyan, has stated. In his turn, Azerbaijani President, Ilham Aliev, believes that the peace treaty should be based on mutual recognition of the territorial integrity.

In the opinion of Shakhin Gadjiev, the editor of the "Turan" News Agency, Nikol Pashinyan realizes the need to resolve the conflict with Azerbaijan, without which Armenia will not be able to normalize its relations with Turkey and embark on the path of economic development.

"The maps agreed during the Soviet period should be taken as a reference point," the "Verelq.Am" portal has quoted Mr Pashinyan as saying.

According to Gadjiev, Pashinyan hints that in exchange for the recognition of territorial integrity, Armenia hopes for the restoration of the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region (NKAR), which had been a part of Azerbaijan. However, in Gadjiev's opinion, Azerbaijan will no longer agree to the restoration of the NKAR as autonomy with broad powers.

In his words, Azerbaijan will not discuss the status of its territories with Armenia.

At the same time, Azerbaijan can offer Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians cultural autonomy and investments in the development of the region. However, the condition for this will be the acceptance of Azerbaijani citizenship by Karabakh Armenians, Shakhin Gadjiev has concluded.

The main task now is to establish mutual trust, Avaz Gasanov, the head of the Society for Humanitarian Studies, has stated. As for the future of Karabakh Armenians, in his opinion, when traces of war are still fresh in memory, it is impossible to resolve any political issues.
