    Aliyev's statements meant to exert pressure on Armenia
    28.11.2008 15:49 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's statements can
    be explained by the world crisis, which certainly affected
    Azerbaijan's economy and also by a new trend of the Karabakh conflict,
    which emerged after adoption of the Moscow declaration, according to a
    Russian expert.

    In an interview with RAI International Italian language channel, Ilham
    Aliyev stated that the declaration `doesn't contain a provision
    reading that Azerbaijan obliges to refrain from a military resolution
    of the conflict and therefore, any kind of measures, including use of
    force and admissible.'

    `The world crisis did affect Azerbaijan and under the circumstances,
    unsettlement of the Karabakh conflict can be used as a tool
    distracting the population from urgent issues,' Andrey Areshev, expert
    at the Strategic Culture Foundation, commented to a PanARMENIAN.Net
    reporter.

    `After adoption of the Moscow declaration, the OSCE MG co-chairs
    showed inclination to include Nagorno Karabakh in talks. They also
    seemed to share Armenia and NKR's concerns that their security will be
    jeoparadized in case of unilateral concessions on their part. At that
    same time, Azerbaijan could cherish illusions that Moscow compels
    Armenia to unilateral concessions. In this context, Aliyev's
    statements look like extra psychological pressure on
    Armenia. Incorrect interpretation of the international law and ongoing
    threats nullify the outcomes of Moscow talks,' he said.

    `Besides, Aliyev did not take into account that he gave his interview
    in Italy, a leading EU state which is extremely interested in peaceful
    resolution of regional conflicts in the Caucasus,' Areshev said.
