It is Yerevan own fault that the borders are closed, Azerbaijani
political scientist, Professor of Western University Fikret Sadikhov
said during the multimedia teleconference Moscow-Kiev- Kishinev
-Baku-Yerevan-Astana on “Perspectives of integration processes in
the post-Soviet space.”
If there aren’t occupied territories, well-known conflict, large
numbers of refugees, then the relationship would be as before 90th,
Sadikhov said.
Note that during a teleconference director of the Armenian branch of
the CIS Institute, political scientist Alexander Markarov said the
closed borders of Armenia are an obstacle to integration in the CIS.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group – Russia, France, and the U.S. –
are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council’s four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
