Baku. Shamil Alibeyli – APA. “Absence of the third force between the
conflicting parties paves the way for the start of the war at any
moment”, said the head of the Center for Strategic Studies Farhad
Mammadov at the briefing, APA reports.
He said Azerbaijan is interested in signing the peace agreement
and conducting negotiations: “But Armenia is feignedly protracting
negotiations on the pretext of the upcoming presidential elections
in Armenia. Our country has not refused the war, because it is our
natural right. The war between Azerbaijan and Armenia may start at
any moment, because there is no physical barrier.”
The head of the Center for Strategic Studies said that Azerbaijan
doesn’t use upcoming presidential elections in 2013 as a pretext:
“Because Azerbaijani people and the government have a common approach
to the Nagorno-Karabakh problem.”
