`Armenia`s destructive stance violates negotiation process in regulation of Karabakh conflict` - Israeli Expert
“History of recent negotiations carried out between Azerbaijan and Armenia prove that no progress is expected in settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. It is hard to believe, the parties will solve the conflict basing on the ceacefire agrrement, an Israeli expert on international relationships Arye Gut told, AzVision.az reports.

Armenia`s destructive position in conflict regulation prompts Azerbaijan to resort to other pressure methods - he said: Azerbaijan`s diplomacy still participates in peace negotiations process. We are all aware of Azerbaijan`s defense expenses and it can be lead to the changes in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict."

Israeli expert also said that the main task set by the President of Azerbaijan Republic - equaling country`s military expenses to Armenia`s whole budget- is already a reality.

“Currently, Azerbaijan`s military expenses surpasses Armenia`s whole budget by 50%. :It is an undeniable fact that military expenses ranks first in Azerbaijan`s state budget and it is understandible. The latest incidents taking place along the frontier between both armies proves once again that Azerbaijan`s response to Armenian occupaiton in occupied lands will be relentless and strong. In my opinion, Armenia has suffered serious, I would say very serious casualties, though, as usual, Armenian side conceals them. Namely therefore it is quite cleasr that official Baku will never condone with the current status-quo in the region and Armenia must understand that Azerbaijan`s patience is running out and official Baku is entitled to free Azerbaijan`s territories occupied by Armenia apart from self-defense under international laws."

In his opinion, official Baku`s stance in negotiation process around conflict settlement and its national interests dictate withdrawal of Armenian Armed Forces from the occupied regions of Azerbaijan as well as return of Azerbaijan`s internally displaced persons to their residences. " Official Baku, in its stead, is ready to grant the highest self-administration status to Nagorno-Karabakh under Azerbaijan`s rule. The form and level of the status shall be developed during the negotiation process held under the auspices of OSCE Minsk Group. Unfortunately, OSCE Minsk Group is virtually inactive and paralyzed and is not able to pressurized Armenia in this regard.”
