Azerbaijan is insured against defeat in a possible war in
Nagorno-Karabakh, Mubariz Ahmedoglu, political analyst, director
of the Center for Political Innovation and Technologies, said at a
press conference.
"The only issue stipulating the war is to continue the occupation
policy of Armenia. Azerbaijan will face no defeats in the future,"
he said.
He said that the OSCE Minsk Group has demonstrated courage in a number
of issues relating to Nagorno-Karabakh problem
"Now it deals with using the phrase "occupied territories". The
original name of the city - Khankendi is used instead Stepanakert.
This is a very brave step of the OSCE Minsk Group," he said.
He said that the Minsk Group was indecisive in 2010.
"Armenia has not adopted the Madrid principles. However, the OSCE
has not declared Armenia about its protest. It deals with the OSCE
Minsk Group's indecisive actions. The OSCE creates the conditions for
alternative mediation. Now the UN and EU are active in resolving this
conflict," he said.
He said that important work was conducted to strengthen the position
of Azerbaijan in the Karabakh issue in 2010. "In 2010, the Azerbaijani
president has turned the Karabakh issue into the national idea.
Special attention was paid to military issues. A number of large
exercises were conducted. The military expenditure was increased. A
military doctrine was adopted. The Azerbaijani army entered a new
stage both in qualitative and quantitative terms," he said.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces 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 peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
