Baku, 5 May: The member parties of the Union of Azerbaijanist Forces
(UAF) believe that the settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict has
reached a breaking point and express their concern with the processes
unfolding in that direction.
The head of the UAF staff, Haciaga Nuri, has told Trend that public
and political developments in the region compel Azerbaijan to be more
cautious about its own stance.
“On the one hand, we are on the threshold of launching the
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline, but on the other, initiatives are
being taken in the Caspian region to clash the interests of the world’s
superpowers. The UAF considers it unacceptable to open communication
lines with Armenia in exchange for freezing the problem for many
years or vacating certain occupied districts outside Karabakh. The
prejudiced position of the countries, which fear occupying Armenia’s
discontent, should be qualified as support for occupation.”
The UAF will also prepare an action plan to mark the occupation of
Susa and the 60th anniversary of the historic victory over fascism.
