    Azerbaijani parliamentarians believe that Armenia will retreat from
    its non-constructive position on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.


    "The negotiation process will force Armenia to abandon its
    non-constructive position. Sooner or later, Armenia must release the
    occupied Azerbaijani lands and recognize the territorial integrity of
    Azerbaijan. It will happen soon," New Azerbaijan Party Political
    Council member, MP Aydin Mirzazade told Trend News on Saturday.

    The process of negotiations on the Karabakh settlement was once again
    intensified.The Azerbaijani and Armenian Presidents, foreign ministers
    of both countries have recently met several times.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are
    currently holding the peace negotiations.

    Mirzazade said that current situation in the country will force the
    Armenian leadership to withdraw from its positions.

    "Armenian unconstructive position harms itself. The population left
    the country. Its economy is not growing. The independence is under
    doubt. The crisis promoted to reduce its budget from 3 to 2 billion
    for the last three years. The real situation will force Armenia to
    make this objective action," MP said.


    The agreement on solving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will be
    concluded till late May 2010, Azerbaijani Former Prime Minister, Panah
    Huseynov, told Trend News.


    "Azerbaijan wil face serious tests till May. They are also connected
    with the adoption of protocols in the Turkish parliament. But,
    whatever decision is made, the country will not yield its positions.
    The Azerbaijani society must be intensified at the same time," MP
    said.

    Turkish and Armenian foreign ministers Ahmet Davutoglu and Edward
    Nalbandian signed the Ankara-Yerevan protocols in Zurich Oct. 10.

    These protocols have not been ratified by the parliaments of both sides yet.
