Baku expects some breakthrough in Karabakh process in 2008

PanARMENIAN.Net - "Armenia and Azerbaijan should refrain from setting impracticable demands and conditions. We should work for a lasting outlook to prevent a new war," Azeri political scientist Rauf Rajabov told reporters Monday.



"Azerbaijan adheres to a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and principles of the Prague process. It expects some breakthrough in 2008," he said.



"Transferring the Karabakh issue to the UN, Azerbaijan thought of it as an organization where problems like Kosovo are resolved," he said.



When commenting on referendum on Karabakh independence, he said both the Armenian and Azeri communities should take part in it. "In my opinion, referendum should be held throughout Armenia, Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh to have objective results," he said, Novosti Armenia reports.
