NO CHANCES FOR KARABAKH BECOMING INALIENABLE PART OF AZERBAIJAN

PanARMENIAN.Net - Today there are no real chances for Nagorno Karabakh restoring its being of an inalienable part of Azerbaijan one fine day, Russian State Duma Deputy Konstantin Zatulin stated in an interview with Echo Baku newspaper. In his words the question of autonomy is passed long ago. "Let us view the things realistically - hostilities are absent for 11 years, there are 15 years since Azerbaijan has not had control over the situation in Nagorno Karabakh, thus thinking that people, who have become adults within that period will agree to an autonomy within Azerbaijan would have been naïve and unrealistic," he stated. In his words, he is ready to discuss anything, but not insane and unrealistic ideas. Zatulin noted that hostilities may be supposed to resume and Azerbaijan to win, however he personally would not wish such a solution of the problem. "Firstly, this means breaking the cease-fire regime and resumption of hostilities with all issuing consequences," he emphasized. In his words, a process of gradual recognition and forming of the status quo, which was attained, are under way today and there are opportunities for diverse compromises available. At that he noted that none of these indeed provides for a real opportunity of Karabakh returning to the jurisdiction of Azerbaijan. "I should say that Karabakh has its own opinion over many questions and its own opportunity to realize various ideas," he noted. "If Armenia unilaterally imposed its will upon Nagorno Karabakh, R. Kocharian would have not become President of Armenia," he emphasized. As noted by Zatulin, in case Karabakh attains recognition of independence, within a long period of time NK will exist as a separate state unit.
