"Azerbaijani opposition expresses its position on Karabakh conflict
and the authorities’ pressures on me in the name of a group," chairman
of Karabakh Liberation Organization Akif Nagi told APA.

The opposition’s position on Nagorno Karabakh conflict is vague,
they should clarify it. Criticizing the oppositional parties’ views
concerning the recent events, Akif Nagi called on these parties to
refrain from observation.

"I understand the authorities and blame them for the
current developments. But I do not understand the opposition’s
viewpoint. Oppositional parties should refrain from being indifferent
to Karabakh problem. No oppositional party reacts to the attitude
towards Karabakh Liberation Organization and me for two weeks.

In spite of protesting to Karabakh Liberation Organization chairman’s
arrest several times or his unofficial house arrest, they make
statements supporting the authorities. I condemn Azerbaijani
oppositional parties’ position favoring Armenians and demand them to
clarify the problem," he said.

Akif Nagi also said that he does not understand the position of human
rights organizations.

"Should we appeal them in written form? Why do they defend a corrupt
official or an Armenian grave, and do not react to the arrest of a
person showing national interest? I do not understand the positions of
the organizations related to Karabakh and public organizations holding
forums regarding it. We invite Armenian minister, sportsmen to Baku
and serve them and they kill Azerbaijani soldiers and capture them in
Karabakh and on the contact line bordering on Armenia," he said.
