Armenian Foreign Minister, Vardan Oskanyan` s claims that Azerbaijan
is violating armistice rules, are absurd, the Head of the Azerbaijani
community of Nagorno-Karabakh, Nizami Bahramov told Trend.
Oskanyan has recently claimed that revisal of the Nagorno-Karabakh
problem from Azerbaijani side led to the violations of the armistice.
However, Bahramov noted that the above mentioned armistice is violated
since the moment it was agreed.
“Number of casualties from both sides as a result of violations is
also known. As for revising our views on different matters it is our
internal issue. The president has already stated that country won’t
leave its land under occupation. It means that if negotiations will
not yield any results Azerbaijan will really revise its policy,”
he concluded.
There is no need to pay attention to these propagandist claims, a
political scientist, Rasim Musabekov said. He also added that talks
held by the Foreign Minister, Elmar Mammedyarov with US officials on
Nagorno-Karabakh might be beneficial. “I think that these negotiations
can only be useful if United States are really interested in moving
the conflict from the dead point. Washington has all the means to do
that,” he said.
If a breakthrough will be achieved in the United States then we can
expect that some agreement might be reached between the Heads of
Azerbaijan and Armenia on the Big Eight summit in Saint-Peterborough.
“I do not exclude that if any agreement will be achieved both
presidents announce it at the Big Eight summit. In that case the Big
Eight summit will be a turning point in the Nagorno-Karabakh problem,”
he said.
