Famous Azerbaijani political scientist Vuqar Seidov commented on the
recent announcements of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and Defense
minister Seyran Ohanuan.
As reported previously, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan announced
that in any referendum, which can be held soon, the Karabakh Armenians
will speak for cessation from Azerbaijan.
"The whole world recognized that the population of Nagorno Karabakh
consists of two communities and the issue of the return of Azerbaijanis
to their homes in Nagorno Karabakh is not removed from the agenda of
peaceful talks", said the Azerbaijani political scientist.
Commenting on Serzh Sargsyan’s announcement that Karabakh Armenians
may demonstrate will to live within Azerbaijan in case investments
are made into Karabakh, Seidov said: "Let Karabakh Armenians first
recognize themselves as part of Azerbaijan and they will get such
large investments, which will even make Armenia jealous towards
Karabakh Armenians and it will itself develop an intention to knock
at Azerbaijan’s doors".
Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan has previously said that
in the result of reforms they will get an army, capable of resisting
aggression, targeting Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.
"None of Armenia’s neighbors intend to attack this country and the
phrase "aggression against Nagorno Karabakh" is completely absurd as
aggression can be against a sovereign state, but not a part of one’s
own state. Aggression is a forced annexation of a part of the country
but not the return of this part into the same state", said Seidov,
commenting on Ohanyan’s statement.
