KAZIMIROV SUGGESTS STEPWISE SETTLEMENT OF KARABAKH PROBLEM

Former Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Vladimir Kazimirov does not
understand the phrase “liberated territories”. During today’s hearings
in the National Assembly he asked, “From who and what were these
territories liberated? From the population or buildings, where they lived?”

He called Armenia not to hide behind the wording “guarantor of
security”, as everyone knows that the conlfict broke out between Armenia
and Azerbaijan.

He also stated that the Azeri party, which adhered to the military
resolution of the conflict, waged the war and lost it. “I have many
times spoken to Heydar Aliyev and he always reiterated he is not going
to fulfill the demands of the Security Council”, he said. Ilham Aliyev,
in Kazimirov’s opinion, does not wish the problem to be resolved as
speaking of the liberated territories, he mentioned about Karabakh as well.

Proceeding from the situation Vladimir Kazimirov suggested a stepwise
settlement of the conflict as it is impossible to resolve the problem by
a package one. “You do not want to see Karabakh as a part of Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan is of an opposite opinion, it would be hara-kiri for Ilham
Aliyev”, he said. In case of stepwise settlement each conflicting party
will raise its priority issues. For Armenia it is the status of
Karabakh, for Azerbaijan – the returning of the territories.

Vladimir Kazimirov also stressed the importance of providing the
guarantees for bilateral security.
