Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity is accepted by all superpowers. Despite international organizations’ resolutions on the issue, Baku is still at a loss to understand why superpowers do not force Armenia to make concessions, according to sociologist Aharon Adibekyan.

As the expert told a news conference in Yerevan, “besides written laws, there are also unwritten ones international practice adheres to. The land belongs to those who shed their blood on it.”

Adibekyan expressed hope that the next parliaments of Armenia and Azerbaijan should be more pragmatic to enable compromise in Karabakh conflict settlement or secure a long-term status quo.

“Foreign investments, currently allocated to Karabakh economy, prove that the investors don’t foresee the surrender of territories. Significant increase in investments within 2-3 years will finalize the Karabakh issue. Baku’s revanchist statements are nothing but words. As a young nation, Azerbaijanis chose Karabakh as a means of self-assertion,” the expert pointed out.
