    AZERBAIJANI POLITICAL SCIENTIST SAYS COMPENSATING FORMER LACHIN
    RESIDENTS AN ATTEMPT TO SOLVE ARMENIAN-AZERBAIJANI CONFLICT

    Six Azerbaijani citizens, formerly living in Lachin, have submitted a
    claim to the European Court of Human Rights demanding compensation for
    damage. The claim was accepted against Armenia and the court decided
    to discuss the case. Azerbaijani political scientist, Ilgar Mamedov,
    believes that Lachin is the one of the cornerstones of Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict settlement. He said OSCE co-chairs report serious
    progress. Particularly Mamedov refers to Matthew Bryza saying `the
    sides have agreed on hand over of territories under the Armenian
    control.'

    This statement was followed by the Armenian ministry of foreign
    affairs saying `until the status of Nagorno Karabakh is decided, the
    right for self-determination of Karabakh people guaranteed and smooth
    geographical contacts with Armenia assured, Armenian side is not going
    to talk about tertiary issues.'

    Further, the political scientist deliberates that `if the
    Azerbaijanies get compensated for their property according to law,
    they practically lose their right and interest to return to their
    places of resident. Isn't this a best solution to settle numerous
    issues on the table of talks?' Mamedov raises the question. The
    political scientist also believes the compensations will be funded by
    international donors under `investment for peace regulation.' `It will
    be easier to force Azerbaijani to go for concessions on Lachin if
    there is no claimant for property,' Mamedov says.
