Baku calls to neglect Bryza's statements
Speaking about referendum is impossible, since it will result on complete loss of Karabakh, according to Azeri political scientist Vafa Guluzade.

"One should not pay attention to Bryza's statements. Sometimes he talks rot and makes you doubt whether he has got a higher education or he was just brought to the White House to speak of something," Guluzade said.

The OSCE Minsk Group offers the Azerbaijani leadership to accept the loss of territories and meet Armenia halfway. One of concession it offers is Azerbaijan's agreement to referendum in Nagorno Karabakh. Thus, the MG wants to Azerbaijan to relinquish Karabakh," he said.

The OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs are planning a dodge by proposing a referendum 10 years after return of "occupied territories" around Nagorno Karabakh. Unfortunately, our leaders speak of referendum in 15 years. They do not understand that such a referendum will mean tearing away a part of Azeri lands. The Constitution says that Azerbaijan is a unitary state, where the organic law can be changed through a referendum. Peaceful talks are a delusion for the Azeri public. Nagorno Karabakh's only status is inseparable part of Azerbaijan," Guluzade said, 1news.az reports.
