and i've lived. thank you for your time minister do you agree that poor peace is better than a good war. surely i agree with it is that anyone who does not agree with it patched up peace is better than any war it's obvious because you can't solve any issues through war those who think that it's possible to solve conflicts through military operations or use of force it is a big illusion as after all was it's necessary to return to the negotiation table but negotiation conditions will be much worse if you would that is best is to pick a horrible negotiations can go on for a very long time but if they really don't result in some analysts say that you're just playing for time at all it's on it's own. over here and. firstly i think that the time is not on either side of the conflict as soon as we settle the conflict it will be for the benefit of all sides of conflict regarding the talks process i do not quite agree with the view that the sides positions have never been

closer back in two thousand and one we were close to the conflict settlements during talks in paris through the mediation of fronts of force of the guide then president of as a vision rejected the agreements reached in paris the so-called paris principles which were later committed to paper in key west he explained his decision by the fact that allegedly public opinion in azerbaijan was not ready for that really you know by pouring oil on the fire what's happening in azerbaijan at the moment but it is necessary to prepare public opinion for the settlement prepare for compromise the causeway. was what many historians believe that one of the reasons that led to the war was stalin's decision to give the car behind tanami to azerbaijan back in nine hundred twenty three what do you think was the logic behind that decision as long as it. were not that far from the truth as it was the decision of the caucasian bureau. the bolshevik party at the base on that decision

they made karabakh part of as a vision of course the population and people of new gono karabakh did not agree with that decision but the soviet leaders replied that they did not have any borders between the states and they were only territorial administrative borders we all live in one country where the. president asked if they conflict of the early mounting and his claim for gazans off alarms but even after a cease fire was reached down to ninety four the death toll continued to rise last year we heard about several azerbaijani soldiers killed in iraq war to clashes what's going on. right here what's important is that the ceasefire sign hundred ninety four has practically been maintained up to the present day certain incidents you've mentioned to actually take place to avoid them there were suggestions from the international community the o.s.c. a cochairman of the mint's group supported by mania on undertaking measures to

consolidate the ceasefire pull out the snipers from the line of contacts and an offer to reach agreement on the nonuse of force unfortunately as a vision refuses to implement those proposals of the international community that is the reason of numerous incidents which happen from time to time at the contact line at the end regarding what you are saying that if you as a beyond the soldiers were killed in the last year incidents it's not so at all in june of last year the meeting between the presidents of armenia and azerbaijan took place in some petersburg and immediately on the night after the meeting the as a vision is carried out a provocation at the contact line five armenians soldiers were killed and the person who killed those armenians was awarded the title of national hero a street in school were named in his honor and a film about him was ordered union later an agreement was reached to exchange the dead bodies and the so-called prisoners of war the body of that man was given to the as a big party despite the fact that it's obvious that such an exchange could not be used for propaganda purposes. as a vision made

a celebration of the bodies returning and the as it was the only authority said that young man as an example to all the youth saying that they should follow his example calling him a shade it was not the first time that as a big johnny authorities tried to give a religious angle to such an event including through the organization of the islamic conference that it will read to mention the organization of islamic conference for h.p. here is a goal adopted a resolution qualifying the actions of our many in the gore knickerbocker as occupation offers thereby johnny territory and i know that several other international organizations passed similar resolutions would be righteous aided as their bridges position is stronger than that of for many in terms of international law and international support. here because i must say that you are mistaken all the organizations involved in the settlement of the new goal no karabakh issue are international organizations as well as intermediary countries misc group co-chairs

including russia the us and france have the mandate of the international community all those countries institutions and organizations all of them issued statements there are in line with armenia as a position and what the as a big johnnies are trying to present that some organization backs them what are they talking about for example the organization of the islamic conference that does not deal with the settlement of not go no karabakh issues and how are the decisions made in that organization if there is an issue concerning a muslim country and in non muslim side by the opinion of the organization it's always the muslim side that's right before actually no voting takes place then however many muslim countries do not unanimously vote for the resolutions of the international organizations that are not introduced by azerbaijan with. that what are the governments and what status what i mean you like to see an accord a crowbar has part of its territory or as a separate sovereign state. tests of authority on

a new meaning i mean he is supporting the elements and principles proposed by the misc group as a basis for negotiations and for reaching the settlement of one of those elements just related to your question is that the people of not going to karabakh should decide with whom and how they want to live in other words to be the master of their own life and. then that move from the present day leave over their bridge and sat in many occasions that his country may use force to reclaim what it considers to be part of its own territory by what do you think about it. you know actually it's dangerous when someone declares and does it daily that one's ready or getting ready to use force evidently they've forgotten how it began the conflict started when they used force against not going to carry back started a large scale military action what's more they hired mercenaries with close links to international terrorist organizations you see what it's led to they must have

forgotten what it's led to evidently human memory is short for them in the group and finally you are a career diplomat and for more than two decades you focused on the middle east peace process and some analysts like to compare armine stance to that of israel saying that armenia also likes to exaggerate the demographic aspect of the conflict and to play down their historic sensitivities of the other side do you see any parallels. because the government to me every conflict has its own purity arity its own brutes and its own dynamics and its own program as it has its own negotiation formats therefore comparing or drawing parallels is not entirely correct but still there may be something typical to all the conflicts but i don't think we should directly associate one conflict with another quite recently in sudan where a referendum to a place in a new state is emerging and i was asking how it can impact the situation. around

not going to korea back and whether it may become the president for not going to karabakh well of course it can but there are lots of such examples most un member states can be viewed as a president the more because of practically all of them became independent states by using their right to self-determination and therefore not going to karabakh all the people of nagorno karabakh have the same rights to decide for themselves as any other country under this have an order but it implodes. well when one deals with war for us to realize that this tremendous amounts of damage that are done not just human damage but damage to the physical environment in which the battlefield takes place tremendous amounts of damage done by aerial bombs by napalm boy chemicals that means whether it's sonic booms or

factory marine mammals or it's the burning oil fields here in iraq or it's destroyed coral reefs in the pacific for landing purposes the list just goes on and on the geneva conventions of nineteen forty nine states that they are shall be taken in war to protect one by against widespread long term and severe damage the united states although it is accepted almost all of the provisions of protocol one has taken exception to that. this is not a theatrical set. this is a real correctional facility. is there any cultural life behind bars.
