Marat Hakobyan: Baku is trying not to notice evident things

Head of Ukrainian Analitika.at.ua Internet publication Marat Hakobyan said that the chaotic statements of Baku with respect to the Hague court’s ruling indicate that Azerbaijan is not ready for such developments, despite evident predictability of a similar ruling by the International Court of Justice.

“Azerbaijan persistently does not notice evident things in the region for many years. It seems that a virtual perception has actually found lodgment in minds of Azerbaijani officials and experts. Any sobering event, which is directly related to Karabakh, surprises Baku, and it starts making contradictory statements” Hakobyan told PanARMENIAN.Net.

On July 22, the International Court of Justice said that Kosovo's unilateral secession from Serbia in 2008 did not violate international law.

Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Nagorno Karabakh and Transdniestria require recognition of their independence by the international community, making reference also to the Kosovo precedent. The first two ones are recognized by Russia, Nicaragua, Venezuela and the Republic of Nauru, as well as unrecognized Nagorno Karabakh and Transdniestria.
