Alexander Karavayev, head of the Political Forecasting
Information-Analytical Center of Moscow State University, today had
an interview with Russian REGNUM news agency and talked about the
issue of Safarov's extradition.
According to him Safarov's pardon is an act aimed to the rise of
national patriotism in Azerbaijan.
"I am familiar with the interpretation of these events, according to
which Safarov's pardon and glorification aimed to provoke Yerevan in
order to stop the peace process on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and
the recognition of the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh.
However, it seems to me that the action of the Azerbaijani authorities
was for strengthening the political arena. It is an act aimed at rising
national patriotism. Life is maneuvering between the two things -
those who are cynical and those who are cold-blooded. All of us know
that Azerbaijan has a conflict with Armenia, and on the background of
territorial disagreements many things are overlapped, which makes it
possible for Azerbaijan to do such steps" said the expert and added
"actions of the Azerbaijani authorities have caused confusion in the
entire world. Usually, in cases of extradition of criminals first
of all they go to the court, after that the final decision must be
announced, but in case of Safarov, he didn't even reach Baku but he
was already honored."
Talking about Nagorno-Karabakh conflict the expert said that surely
the negotiations would be stopped for some time but added that the
negotiations mustn't be replaced by any other means of the solution
to the conflict.
