Karabakh: Any Agreement Based on Concessions Dangerous for Azerbaijan's Next PresidentJuly 17, 2006 - 16:16 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Any agreement based on concessions represents danger for the next Azeri President.

His statements on peace and war are contradictory as well; moreover they conflict with the Azeri Constitution which rejects hostilities as means to settle conflicts. The unwillingness to understand the specific character of the epoch of the USSR decline is also obvious," says the article PanARMENIAN.Net received from former OSCE MG Russian Co-chair Vladimir Kazimirov.According to Kazimirov, Azerbaijan practices common phrases about justice, international law and territorial integrity which more resemble incarnations. "A state leader can hardly consider such stuff proper for the public opinion and especially for "export", he remarked.

"Not only the end of 2006 but the two coming years can be sacrificed to come closer to settlement in the Karabakh conflict," the Russian diplomat said.
