GYULTEKIN HADJIYEVA: I DO NOT BELIEVE GLOBAL CHANGES TO BE INTRODUCED IN REPORT OF INTERNATIONAL CRISIS GROUP

Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict Materials 18 August 2005 18:43 (UTC +04:00)

В"The report of the International Crisis Group (ICG) was actually far from the reality, therefore I am not sure, the document will be entirely unbiased”, deputy Gyultakin Hadjiyeva told Trend. The International Crisis Group will prepare two reports on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and disseminate them in September.

Some recommendations are included in the reports, reflecting the situation in Azerbaijan and Armenia. A workshop, dedicated to the discussion of this report took place in Tbilisi.

At the closed door event, where along with the International Crisis Group experts, representatives of Azerbaijan and Armenia also took part, preliminary standpoints on the report’s essence and details became known.

Hadjiyeva, involved in the workshop as the expert from Azerbaijan, said, partial position was demonstrated on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. Biased attitude to the conflict and attempts to solve it beyond the frames of the international law and regulations caused the concern of the Azerbaijani side.

Therefore, the deputy said she adheres to the same opinion of the report to be made public in September, as before. В"Certainly, one should not voice the opinion before the report is issued. However, I do not think, global changes have been introduced in this document.

Probably, changes, supplements of a technical character. Perhaps, also, for the period passed after the workshop in Tbilisi the ICG will study the situation related to Karabakh deeper and will come to the unbiased, impartial position in regard of the conflict.

However, taking into account the reality, existing up to now, personally I do not believe there will be serious changes in favour of Azerbaijan, i.e. in accordance with the international law.”, Hadjiyeva said.

The deputy noted, although she does not know about the reaction of the government of Azerbaijan in regard of the report, to be made public in September, she will declare a protest on her own behalf.

The vice president of the International Crisis Group Alain Deletroz will arrive in Baku on 8-9 September. He is expected to submit a report, developed by the Organization and about 20 recommendations to the government of Azerbaijan.

The International Crisis Group studies existing and potential conflict hotbeds and make its forecasts monthly for solution of various conflicts.
