YEREVAN, MAY 24, NOYAN TAPAN. "The negotiations being held today
on settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict in essence are not
negotiations, but imitation." Political scientist Arif Yunusov,
Head of Department of Conflictology and Migration of Baku Institute
for Peace and Democracy, stated at the international conference
Caucasus-2006. In his words, until 2010 it is no use speaking about
the settlement at all, especially as year 2008 is year of elections.
A. Yunusov said that in the year 2006 the Azerbaijani public anxious
about possible unacceptable settlement of conflict with great tension
followed all stages of negotiations process. "When after Rambouillet
and Bucharest it became obvious that the problem will not be settled,
an impression was formed that in Azerbaijan they sighed with relief. I
think if someone thirsted after quick settlement of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict, these were Americans," he stated.
A. Yunusov said that according to studies conducted by the Institute
for Peace and Democracy, radicalization of Azerbaijani public
is noticed in the recent 3-4 years. In particular, the number
of supporters of settlement of conflict by military way grows:
currently this number is 58-65%. These moods are especially strong
among youth, and the majority of people of elder generation (45-50)
is for "freezing" the conflict.
