Azerbaijani President's statement that the Moscow declaration doesn't guarantee against a new fact is actually denunciation of the document signed by the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia, according an NKR political scientist.

"In an interview with RAI International Italian language channel, Ilham Aliyev stated that the declaration "doesn't contain a provision reading that Azerbaijan obliges to refrain from a military resolution of the conflict and therefore, any kind of measures, including use of force and admissible." Commitment to a peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict was the most important aspect of the declaration but, with this statement, Azerbaijan made the positivism of the declaration null and void," David Babayan told PanARMENIAN.Net.

"Under the circumstances the talk about confidence-building measures makes no sense. Moreover, Aliyev interprets the international documents and principles in favor of Azerbaijan only. Meanwhile, the Budapest summit confirmed the format recognizing Nagorno Karaabkh as a party to conflict, with Azerbaijan's consent. As to UN resolutions, they are non-binding but they also recognize Karabakh as a side. "Local Armenian forces" wording can serve as a proof," Babayan said.

"Within a month, Azerbaijan returned to its usual policy of threats. This is not surprising. Azerbaijan's principle is 'all or nothing'. The process of formation of the Azeri nation has not been completed yet and the leadership fears of a chain reaction among Avar, Talysh and Lezgin peoples. The Azerbaijani leadership needs Karabakh without Armenians and hopes to address the other fronts of ethno-political confrontation," the expert said.
