AFTER PARLIAMENTARY ELECTION IN AZERBAIJAN NEGOTIATIONS ON KARABAKH WILL SPEED UP, SOME AZERI POLITICIANS CONSIDER
Over the upcoming parliamentary election in Azerbaijan the authorities targeted efforts at the election campaign and the Karabakh problem receded into the background, the 5250th newspaper writes. Some politicians claim it is a temporary phenomenon and after the elections the issue will again find its place in the agenda. In their opinion the Karabakh settlement in a way depends on the outcome of the parliamentary election. According to leader of the Karabakh Liberation Organization Akif Nagi the conduction of democratic relations is of utter importance for the Karabakh conflict settlement. "Should the parliamentary election be undemocratic Baku will lose 5 years", the KLO leader stated. Acting chairman of the Azerbaijani Liberal Party Avez Temirkhan stated that the concentration of attention at the forthcoming parliamentary election is quite natural but it does not mean that the Karabakh problem is forgotten. "Karabakh is the priority issue for each Azerbaijani citizen. But one should keep in mind that the settlement of the principal problems is directly connected with the conduction of democratic election", he said.
