“International structures with undisguised assurance reiterated the year of 2006 will become the year of settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh problem. They attempt to force Azerbaijan to concessions, that is cede Nagorno Karabakh, Lachin and Kelbajar to Armenia,” Azerbaijani ex-President Heydar Aliyev’s former advisor for external political affairs Vafa Guluzade told Zerkalo Baku-based newspaper. In his words, all these attempts are absolutely fruitless. “Azerbaijan’s position is precisely outlined. It means that the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is not a subject of discussion and our state is guided by the fulfillment of the U.N. Security Council Resolution on withdrawal of all occupying troops form the Azerbaijani territory,” he remarked.
As for Armenia, the Azeri political scientist considers that this state sounds the position of its “elder brother” – Russia. “The core of Armenia’s position is that it has no intention to renounce Karabakh’s independence supported by Russia. Russia prohibited Armenia from signing any peaceful document with Azerbaijan. I have stated many times that we should wait for the collapse of the Russia Empire. I foretell it will happen in 10 years. All my forecasts have proved true so far,” the Azeri political scientist said.
