`We have seen many times that the President of Azerbaijan is not ready
for concessions, and this can be explained with the public opinion in
Azerbaijan. We should not forget, however, that the public opinion
was formed mostly with the influence of the aggressive statements of
the Azeri President,’ NA Deputy Speaker Vahan Hovhannisyan said.
The Deputy Speaker considers it is irrefutable that the oil factor has
a certain role in the settlement of the Karabakh conflict. He does not
think, however, that Baku can use this as a guarantee that no pressure
will be exerted over it in any case.
`In reality, it is not that difficult to match the positions of the
parties, only Azerbaijan should recognize the right of
self-determination of people of Nagorno-Karabakh. International
experience shous that it is an applicable mechanism,’ Vahan
Hovhannisyan said, turning to possible developments of further
development.
The current world processes, in Vahan Hovhannisyan’s opinion, will at
last make Azerbaijan realize the necessity of a more tolerating
approach.
