/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The future of Nagorno Karabakh is of much
significance for Turkey, and hence - for the European Union, Spanish
El Mundo reports. According to the newspaper analyst, EU is competing
with Russia for gaining access to the gas and oil reserves of the
Caspian Basin, while Azerbaijan is searching for means to resolve
Karabakh conflict, its principal political problem. `Azerbaijan's
rapprochement with Russia is conditioned by the lack of Turkey, EU and
United States' support to Karabakh process,' the newspaper quotes
Turkish expert Guner Ozkan as saying.
The author of the publication also refers to the statement of RA
President's Spokesman who announced that nothing prevents Armenia from
recognizing Nagorno Karabakh's independence in case of Azerbaijan's
refraining from military operations. `The statement was made after
Armenian and Azeri Presidents' recent meeting last week-end. Before
the meeting, Aliyev announced that `in case hopes for negotiations
vanish', Azerbaijan will consider itself entitled to resort to
military operations to liberate the country. Two years ago, OSCE
confirmed the so-called Madrid Principles which offer Armenia to
withdraw its forces from the frontier regions of Karabakh in return
for the recognition of the enclave. However, the document has not been
recognized by either Baku or Yerevan, Both parties differ in their
views on refugees' return and the sovereignty of Lachin corridor,' the
Spanish newspaper reports.
