    UNWILLINGNESS TO NEGOTIATE WITH NKR INDICATES AZERBAIJAN'S WEAKNESS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Formidable obstacles should be cleared for soonest
    resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, an Armenian expert said.

    "During a 2-day visit to Stepanakert, OSCE MG Russian Co-chair Yuri
    Merzlyakov was quite right to say that atmosphere of trust should be
    created for resolution of the conflict," Ruben Zargaryan, adviser
    to the NKR Minister of Foreign Affairs, said in a piece of opinion
    obtained by PanARMENIAN.Net.

    "Although NKR is mentioned in the international documents as a party
    to conflict, statements on necessity to re-engage Nagorno Karabakh
    in the process dash against Azerbaijan's destructive opposition,"
    he said, adding that unwillingness to negotiate with NKR indicates
    Azerbaijan's weakness.

    He also emphasized that any agreement which fails to take into account
    the reasons of the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict will be short-lived.

    "Baku's position bases on ungrounded territorial claims. Azerbaijan
    plans to capture entire Nagorno Karabakh after the liberated
    territories are returned," Zargaryan said.

    "Meanwhile, recognition of NKR should be the starting point in
    talks. This will help overcome the consequences of the conflict,"
    he added.

    Another obstacle to resolution of the conflict is the myth about
    Armenia's weakness disseminated by Azerbaijan, according to Zargaryan.

    "In an attempt to convince the international community and its own
    people that Armenia is too weak and will have to make unilateral
    concession, Azerbaijan at the same time grossly exaggerates the amount
    of its oil and gas resources," he concluded.
