/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijani President’s statement that the Moscow
declaration doesn’t guarantee against a new fact is actually
denunciation of the document signed by the leaders of Armenia,
Azerbaijan and Russia, according an NKR political scientist.
"In an interview with RAI International Italian language channel,
Ilham Aliyev stated that the declaration "doesn’t contain a provision
reading that Azerbaijan obliges to refrain from a military resolution
of the conflict and therefore, any kind of measures, including use
of force and admissible." Commitment to a peaceful resolution of the
Karabakh conflict was the most important aspect of the declaration but,
with this statement, Azerbaijan made the positivism of the declaration
null and void," David Babayan told PanARMENIAN.Net.
"Under the circumstances the talk about confidence-building measures
makes no sense. Moreover, Aliyev interprets the international documents
and principles in favor of Azerbaijan only. Meanwhile, the Budapest
summit confirmed the format recognizing Nagorno Karaabkh as a party
to conflict, with Azerbaijan’s consent. As to UN resolutions, they
are non-binding but they also recognize Karabakh as a side. "Local
Armenian forces" wording can serve as a proof," Babayan said.
"Within a month, Azerbaijan returned to its usual policy of
threats. This is not surprising. Azerbaijan’s principle is ‘all or
nothing’. The process of formation of the Azeri nation has not been
completed yet and the leadership fears of a chain reaction among
Avar, Talysh and Lezgin peoples. The Azerbaijani leadership needs
Karabakh without Armenians and hopes to address the other fronts of
ethno-political confrontation," the expert said.
