Baku: OSCE MG Fear of Absence of Talks Major Motivation of Bucharest Meeting

June 6, 2006 - 15:29 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group think of the situation of absence of talks between the Azeri and Armenians leaders over the Nagorno Karabakh conflict with fear, Azeri political scientist Ilgar Mammadov believes. «In my opinion, this fear was the basic motivation of the Bucharest meeting. Imagine there are no talks between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Then the probability of resumption of hostilities is higher then. To avoid this the co-chairs do their best to continue the meetings,» Mammadov believes. «Thereupon I want to mention that now resumption of hostilities, even for a short term, is favorable to Armenia. Azerbaijan expects much oil revenues in the coming years and short resumption of full-scale military operation right now would have caused problems for our county in this respect,» the Azeri political scientist stated, reports Day.az.
