    Iranian expert warns poll 'could lead to Garabagh's cessation'

    Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
    May 4 2006

    Baku, May 3, AssA-Irada -- An Iranian expert has said Azerbaijan
    "could lose its territories" currently under Armenian occupation if
    it agrees to the conduct of a referendum in Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh
    to determine its status in the future.

    "The Garabagh Armenians will undoubtedly vote for the cessation of
    the region from Azerbaijan," Jalal Muhammadli warned.

    "Nowhere in the world an issue like territorial integrity could be
    solved through a referendum. It could be solved only by power and
    strength," the analyst said in an interview with AssA-Irada.

    Muhammadli advised the West, which has been advocating for a vote
    to determine the Upper Garabagh status, to use this option instead
    to determine the status of Basques who have been active in Spain for
    many years.

    "It was such a referendum that led to the separation of the present-day
    Bahrain from Iran in 1967," the embassy representative added.*
