Rasim Aghayev: "Official Baku should draw a conclusion that Mikhail Saakashvili сan not be trusted"

"President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan chose a suitable moment for announcing that their top goal is to persuade Azerbaijani side that recognition of the right of "Nagorno Karabakh" for self-determination is inevitable. The thing is that the defeat of Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili on the South-Ossetian and Abkhazian fronts resulted in Azerbaijan's being able to think of the forced return of our occupied lands only theoretically", said famous political scientist Rasim Aghayev.

According to him, Georgia has compromised the very strategic formula of Azerbaijan in the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict based on international law.

"After the Georgian-Russian war international law and territorial integrity of the state were ignored.

Moreover, Georgia has compromised the very strategic formula of Azerbaijan in the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict based on international law. After the Georgian-Russian war international law and territorial integrity of the state were ignored", noted the political scientist and added that Serzh Sargsyan, whose voice became louder after the events in Georgia, takes into account these moments and even so more he sees the amenability of the Turkish leadership, which is making open steps for unblocking the border with Armenia and establishing normal relations with it.

"In the result, we see that Armenia's policy, which stakes on ignoring international right and openly demonstrates territorial claims to all neighbor states, is more suitable in conditions of the established geopolitical realities in our region. This allows Serzh Sargsyan to put pressure on Azerbaijan", said he.

Rasim Aghayev said that though Georgian President Mikhail Saakasvili's actions are explainable, as he wanted to regain control over the autonomies via blitzkrieg and naturally the countries, which are planning to conduct such military actions, do not coordinate their actions with the allies in order to prevent inflation leakage, it was necessary to think about the negative variant of the developments, not only for Georgia but also for its allies, in this case Azerbaijan.

"Georgian President failed to do it and after the recent events official Baku should draw the following conclusions: Mikhail Saakashvili can not be trusted".

According to the political scientist, if political and economic rapprochement of Armenia and Turkey takes place, Azerbaijan should create a new bloc to deal with the resolution of territorial disputes.

"Moreover in exchange for Armenia's disavowal of territorial claims to Azerbaijan, official Baku may start unblocking borders with Armenia. But official Baku can take this step only after Armenia returns our occupied lands and officially disavows the territorial claims to Azerbaijan, as history proves that Armenians are highly unreliable partners, who can violate existing agreements at any moment. Moreover Azerbaijan should hamper the prospects of establishment of diplomatic relations between Armenia and Turkey more actively", concluded the political scientist.
