Azerbaijani political expert Zardusht Alizade says the resolution of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict depends on what degree the conflicting
parties trust each other. He was commenting on possible use of "2+3+2"
formula in the conflict resolution.

"Under this plan, in the best case, Azerbaijan will recover control of
two of its regions at the initial stage and three more regions will
be liberated later. This will mark starting point of a cooperation
in some spheres between the parties," the expert said.

"I think that both sides should understand that cooperation is better
than confrontation. Countries in conflict need to get rid of the myths
that have settled over the relations between nations. In the worst
case, there will be need to involve psychiatrists," the political
expert added.

Asked whether there is a link between a new document that reportedly
stands on the Armenian-Turkish talks’ table and items of the "2 +3 +2"
formula of de-occupation of Azerbaijani territories, Alizade said that
"the borders between Armenia and Turkey will reopen when relations
between Baku and Yerevan see at least some progress. I have always said
that the Armenian-Turkish normalization is profitable for Azerbaijan."

Speaking about the conditions under which Azerbaijan may agree to sign
an agreement on non-use of force in resolving the Karabakh conflict,
the political scientist said "although Azerbaijan has every right
to solve the conflict by military means, it has not done this for 16
years. It shows that Azerbaijan is committed to a peaceful solution to
the Karabakh conflict. And when joining the Council of Europe and the
Madrid principles, we have pledged to resolve the issue by diplomatic
means. Therefore, if Armenia fulfills all its commitments under
possible agreements with Azerbaijan, I see no reason for Azerbaijan
to launch military action."
