Zatulin: “Karabakh never accepts to be added to Azerbaijan”
November 20, 2019 – KARABAKH:
Konstantin Zatulin, Vice-Chairman of the Committee of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) of the Russian State Duma, said that the Karabakh conflict can only be resolved through mutual concessions.
Atu My position on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict has already become clear. The basis of this solution should be mutual compromise. Although Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as the Republic of Artsakh is not recognized by any country, it is standing and living its own life. I mean, the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh, even if it is only formal, will never agree to be included in Azerbaijan.
Even at the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the recognition of an Azerbaijani republic that coincided with the borders of the Soviet Socialist Republic of Azerbaijan was not natural, because in 1991 there was a war for three years and Nagorno-Karabakh was no longer under the control of Azerbaijan. Therefore, the right to self-determination of Nagorno-Karabakh and its independence from Azerbaijan should be recognized. ”
According to the representative of the Duma, the mutual compromise that could be given by Nagorno-Karabakh may be the transfer of 5 out of 7 regions around Karabakh to Azerbaijan. Zatulin added that “I am talking about only 7 regions because the other two regions connect Karabakh to Armenia ek.
According to Zatuline, what makes the mutual compromise between the two countries impossible is the pressure of “extreme nationalists eden demanding the whole Karabakh in Azerbaijan and emphasizing that’ the land saved by blood cannot be delivered ’in Armenia.
