Authoritarian Azerbaijan incapable of dialogue and compromise, Minister saysMarch 1, 2011 - 21:14 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Caution must be shown when making any comparisons of political-social development among the countries of the South Caucasus region, Armenian Foreign Minister stated. “While Armenia is a developing democracy, Azerbaijan is a developing authoritarian regime. This is a view expressed by most international organizations and shared by most of the experts,” Edward Nalbandian said in an interview with Der Standard Austrian newspaper. “Media and civil society in Armenia are actively involved in political discussions, something unheard of in Azerbaijan. Quite the contrary, full-fledged state sponsored propaganda of hatred towards Armenians hinders the peace process. And the minds of the young generations are being spoilt in such a way that it hinders future reconciliation,” Nalbandian stressed.
