BAKU, NOVEMBER 24, ARMENPRESS: Vafa Guluzade, a former aide to the late Azeri president Heydar Aliyev, downplayed a statement by Armenian president Robert Kocharian that Armenia would officially recognize the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic if the conflicting sides failed to achieve a final solution to the conflict.
“Armenia will never dare to officially recognize Nagorno-Karabakh,’ Guluzade was quoted by Trend news agency as saying. He argued that Kocharian made the statement ‘to put pressure on Azerbaijan,’ saying also Moscow played a role in it. Another political analyst in Azerbaijan, Aldin Mirzazade argued that had Armenia wanted to recognize Karabakh it would have done so long before. “Kocharian’s statement will be floated by media for several days and then will be forgotten,” he said.
President Kocharian made the remark in an interview to a Slovenian daily Delo earlier this week when he was visiting Ljubljana. Kocharian said Armenia has actually recognized Nagorno-Karabakh. He said Armenian national currency-dram- is used by it and there is also a common customs zone.
“There is a serious integration process between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh and these relations can be termed as ‘disproportionate confederation,’ he said.
