Baku Hopes for Karabakh Conflict Soonest SettlementJune 23, 2006 - 16:49 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - At present the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict is the most admissible variant. Moreover taking into account the intensity of the talks some progress can be expected in the process, Milli Mejlis deputy, member of the permanent parliamentary commission for international affairs Aidyn Abbasov said. In his words, the work is targeted at a peaceful solution of the problem. "If there is no precise wayout, other solutions, which also imply peaceful settlement, should be sought for. War can be announced at any time but settling a problem this way is not the most sensible thing. That is why Baku during many years proceeds with the efforts to settle the conflict peacefully and the problem will be solved in the near future," he remarked.At that Abbasov refrained from commenting on the statement by the Azeri MFA, which said that Baku is ready to grant Nagorno Karabakh a status equal to the status of Tatarstan within Russia, reported Echo newspaper. Azerbaijani authorities report that they have already resettled 3,000 people in the Nagorno-Karabakh town of Stepanakert. On June 10, Azerbaijani President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev will leave for Turkey on a working visit. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev arrived in Moscow on April 22 to hold talks with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin. Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive. Partner news |
