«There are no real negotiations over settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict but there is only an appearance,» Azeri political scientist Zardusht Alizadeh stated. “None of the parties wants to retract their positions. There is no real ground for a compromise. Official Yerevan claims independence of Nagorno Karabakh and its unification with Armenia. Azerbaijan says it will never agree to give even part of its land to Armenia. Outside these principles, there is no serious search for a trade-off and appeal to public and international laws in the negotiating process. Taking surface political interests, both the parties to the conflict and the co-chairs are trying to find a solution option in interests of the parties will become closer. However, the interests do not become closer.
The parties make public that they will not make any trade-off. U.S co-chair Matthew Bryza sated this. He said the parties do not seem to withdraw from the core principles they insist on. But, one of the parties need to withdraw from core principles in order to reach an agreement,” the political scientist underlined.
Alizadeh also said «there are some strong forces, who are making efforts for freezing and delaying the conflict.» The political expert said the resolution of the conflict has reached a deadlock and the negotiations are held only for appearance. Political scientist Vafa Guluzadeh called the processes for the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict «nonsense», reports APA.
