Expert: Armenia should comply with UN resolutions on Nagorno-Karabakh
Armenia should comply with the requirements of the UN Security Council resolutions adopted on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said Laila Akhmetova, Professor of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University and Doctor of Historical.
Akhmetova, talking to Day.az, said that the collapse of the Soviet Union caused a number of problems in all 15 former Union republics, as well as regional conflicts, including the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
“I think the conflict will not be resolved until the parties reach an agreement at the negotiating table. I am convinced that this is the only acceptable solution to the NagornoKarabakh conflict,” said Akhmetova.
The expert noted that the agreement should fully meet the norms and principles of international law.
Armenia should comply with the requirements of the four resolutions of the UN Security Council, which call for liberating Azerbaijani territories, Akhmetova emphasized.
“Such an approach to the solution to the protracted conflict will be mutually beneficial for both parties as it will exclude military means of intervention and contribute to a consistent and logical normalization of the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations in future, the expert said. “I believe that neither Armenia, nor Azerbaijan needs war, and development and progress in the Baku-Yerevan relations can be achieved only by peaceful means.”
She noted that neighboring countries in the region, who are interested in the stability and prosperity of the South Caucasus, will also benefit from the normalization of the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations.
