"In order to make us content with the conflict settlement we should proclaim Nagorno Karabakh without Armenians. All the other variants will be given hostile reception by a good half of our population, which is divided into two camps," head of the Center of Innovations and Political Technologies Mubariz Ahmedoglu said in Baku. In his words, a part of the Azeri public sees the OSCE MG latest statement on Nagorno Karabakh in tragic light. As for the statements by U.S. Co-chair Matthew Bryza, Ahmedoglu considers these were not his personal thoughts. "Matthew Bryza has made public the general principles of the Karabakh conflict settlement, which were elaborated during 8 years of the OSCE MG activities," the political scientist said.

He also supposed that "the issue of 7 seized regions around Nagorno Karabakh is almost settled. The succession of their liberation is the only stumbling block left," Zerkalo Baku-based newspaper says.
