Mubariz Ahmedoghlu: "The diplomatic results of 2008 on the resolution of the Karabakh conflict are positive for Azerbaijan"

Among the achievements of the Azerbaijani diplomacy the political scientist listed the adoption of the draft resolution on the situation in the occupied lands, proposed by Azerbaijan.

The Moscow declaration, where Nagorno Karabakh was removed from the process as one of the parties of the conflict, became no less important", said he,

At the same time, he noted that on the whole beginning from 1994 all adopted international documents on the Karabakh conflict are in favor of Azerbaijan and in all of them Armenia is fixed as a country, which occupied a part of Azerbaijani lands..

He said the philosophy of the attitude towards the conflict resolution has also changed.

"If earlier the international community said that it is primarily necessary to restore economic relations for people to contact with each others, which will facilitate the conflict resolution, now everyone says that the conflict resolution will help create and develop economic relations", said he.

According to Ahmedoghlu, public diplomacy which is spoken of too much, is more harmful for the conflict resolution than helpful.

"Not only public diplomacy but contacts on high level exist in the process of the resolution of the Transdniestrian conflict. President of Moldova Voronin has repeatedly received representatives of the unrecognized republic. There are ties among simple citizens, yet it does not lead to the resolution of the conflict. Other examples are ties between Servia and Kosovo residents before the unilateral declaration of independence of Kosovo, ties between Georgians and Abkhazians", said he.
