    Deputy Director of Azerbaijan`s Center for Strategic Studies gives
    interview to Turkish Today`s Zaman newspaper.

    'The situation between Azerbaijan and Armenia could be resolved if
    all of the parties involved realized the fact that the paradigm of the
    21st century promotes multi-ethnicity and unity in diversity,' deputy
    director of the Center for Strategic Studies under the President of
    the Republic of Azerbaijan, Gulshan Pashayeva told in her interview
    to Turkey-based Today`s Zaman.

    Pashayeva noted Turkey and Azerbaijan are cooperating on a variety of
    issues pertaining to the South Caucasus region and adds that currently
    more should be done in order to solve the knotty issue that exists
    between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh. Pashayeva says
    that Armenia should realize that today`s realities are much different
    from those of 1994.

    'Azerbaijan has greatly developed politically, economically and
    militarily since then. Balance of power between Azerbaijan and Armenia
    has dramatically changed.'

    According to Pashayeva, should there be any kind of progress on
    Armenian Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh then it will be
    possible to open the borders to Armenia from both sides, the Turkish
    and Azerbaijani sides, which in turn will benefit all parties in
    helping them further prosper.

    Regarding the Turkey-Azerbaijan relationship Pashayeva agrees that
    there is room for further cooperation in all levels. For example she
    mentioned that two Centers for Strategic Studies (SAM) from Azerbaijan
    and Turkey signed Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in March
    2011 in Baku and it provides an excellent opportunity for further
    fruitful cooperation.

    The strategic cooperation in the energy field is another important
    one for both Azerbaijan and Turkey, according to Pashayeva, and
    the relationship in this field is also developing. She mentions the
    pipelines of Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum where Turkey,
    Azerbaijan and Georgia are in full cooperation in the energy field.
