    Azerbaijani political scientists are sceptical about that Turkey will establish relations with Armenia

    Baku. Tamara Grigorieva –APA. “I don’t think that contacts between Turkey and Armenia can reach a level of negotiations because usually negotiations have concrete subject”, political scientist Rasim Musabeyov told APA.

    Commenting the secret talks between the Turkish and Armenian diplomats in Switzerland, Musabeyov said level of representation of the sides was not clear. “I think the press overstates the weight of this meeting. The countries continue such contacts for almost 15 years”. Musabeyov said there was no ground for the serious progress in the Turkish-Armenian relations today. Political scientists Rustam Mammadov said Armenia was seeking alternative gateways to Europe now. In his opinion triangle game between Armenia, Iran and Russia gives no result for a long time and significance of Armenian-Turkish factor is increasing in this plan. The expert doesn’t believe that Turkey will establish relations with Armenia without solution of the problem of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity. He said probably the issue was put on agenda in such a manner at the meeting. Deputy Executive Secretary of New Azerbaijan Party, political observer and member of the parliament Mubariz Gurbanli said it would negatively impact on Azerbaijani-Turkish relations if Turkey began negotiations and signed documents with Armenia. He is doubtful of any official meeting between Armenia and Turkey. Gurbanli said he was against establishing relations between Turkey and Armenia without solution of Azerbaijani Nagorno Karabakh problem. The expert emphasized that problems between Turkey and Armenia existed before the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

Spring has just come and gone; the place was beautiful, everywhere covered with green looking very attractive to behold. (more…)

    I have not lived all my life in Azerbaijan, but I have lived long enough to be a witness of the Azerbaijan hospitality. One thing the Azerbaijanis are very sure of is that they are one of the most hospitable people in the world. Although this has remained their own judgment of themselves, I will not fail to say how correct they have been to adjudge themselves so. (more…)
