YEREVAN, JULY 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The martial statements of Azerbaijan
are more of declaratory than of concrete character. They are, really,
dangerous. This information was provided to a Noyan Tapan correspondent
by Florence Martirosian, a member of the international consultation
council of the "Geopolitical Affairs" journal and a researcher of
the Paris-Sorbonne University.
According to her, the main goal of the martial statements of Azerbaijan
is to promote the idea that Karabakh is not finally lost. In her
opinion, the loss of a territory is a serious problem for any country,
and the politicians of Azerbaijan are trying to mitigate this problem
with aggressive statements. "I am sure that making such statements
is not a solution of the problem," Florence Martirosian mentioned.
She believes that the Karabakh conflict will be settled through the
establishment of democratic orders in the whole territory. Florence
Martirosian believes that the existence of a powerful opposition and
of different opinions, as well as the equality of everybody in front
of the law in the country should be attached importance in order to
reach democracy.
Florence Martirosian considers it necessary for Nagorno Karabakh to
take part in the negotiation process. "The essential essence of the
principle of self-determination is that the representatives of the
self-determining nation should take part in the negotiation process,"
she said.
