Karabakh issue can’t be leverage on Baku, Azeri MP says

Azerbaijani parliament member, deputy executive secretary of Yeni Azerbaijan ruling party Mubariz Gurbanly believes that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict can’t be used as a leverage on Baku.

“Azerbaijan has covered a difficult path. Our country’s stand is firm and it’s impossible to divert its political line using the conflict as a leverage,” Gurbanly said.

Commenting on Russia’s foreign policy, he said that Moscow currently prefers cooperation to pressure.

“All this gives reason to reach progress in talks,” Gurbanly said, Trend News reported.
