Publicist: Karabakh people can’t be forced to live in AzerbaijanJune 14, 2013 - 21:39 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Karabakh conflict is a very complicated issue linked to geopolitical situation and interests of not only Armenia and Azerbaijan, but of neighboring countries as well, Azerbaijani-American screenwriter, dramatist, producer and public figure Rustam Ibragimbekov told BBC. As the dramatist noted, the situation in Azerbaijan hampers solution of the issue. “When I’m trying to explain that Nagorno Karabakh Armenians must have the same rights as Azerbaijanis and they mustn’t be called enemies under any conditions, I get accused of pro-Armenian moods.” “Seeing as human rights are blatantly neglected in Azerbaijan, with corruption prevalent throughout the country, it’s clear why Nagorno Karabakh people have no wish to be part of it. The only solution would be normalization of conditions in Azerbaijan – there’s no other way to persuade people,” he said. As he noted, nothing can induce Karabakh people to live in Azerbaijan unless the attitude of Azeri authorities changes and the poepl’s safety is guaranteed. “The remaining issues have to do with geopolitical problems which can’t be solved without interference of superpowers,” he said.
