Nagorno Karabakh describes Moscow Declaration as symbolic
The Declaration on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict adopted in Moscow is symbolic, David Babayan, a Karabakhi political scientist told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
"With adherence to dialog and peace as the key aspect of the Declaration, it recognizes that the settlement process will take a long period of time.
"I would like to remind that Gultekin Gajiyeva, a member of the Azerbaijani delegation to PACE, said that the only compromise on the Azerbaijani part will be agreement to further habitation of Armenians in Karabakh. While well-known political scientist Zardush Alizade dreams that Armenia shifts to the U.S. and NATO, after what "Azerbaijan together with Russia will clear Karabakh from Armenians, seize Meghri and join Nakhijevan and Turkey, razing Armenia to the ground." These are statements made by the Azeri political elite and it's obvious that the Karabakh conflict will last dozens of years if such logic prevails," Babayan said.
