Recently, a lot is said about the fact that the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan
can be overcome only through the efforts of "people's diplomacy." Political and military
leaders of the two countries are too passionate about this confrontation. Moreover, that for
many of them the threat of the outbreak of hostilities - one of the most important conditions
for maintaining their positions. So, there is hope only for ordinary citizens: those
war touches first.
Avaz Hasanov, head of the "Society of Humanitarian Studies": "It is people's diplomacy is able
to influence policy. It was through the influence of ordinary people on the policy, you can
quickly get the result. Therefore, the "people's diplomacy" is not liable to the politicians,
the region before the security of the region. They support the idea of ??living together,
the stability in the region. I'm not sure that at least one state is able to stop the
process. Can brake may simply prevent representatives of public diplomacy, but they can not stop
it. "
But it is obvious that without the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict reconciliation
between Armenia and Azerbaijan is impossible. And they expect that in Baku soon someone
will agree to recognize the independence of Stepanakert, hardly worth it.
Avaz Hasanov: "People of Karabakh de jure Azerbaijani citizens. Despite the fact that
Azerbaijan has no political and economic ties with Karabakh, the whole world will recognize
it as the territory of Azerbaijan. Naturally, today Azerbaijan is not in a position to influence
the Karabakh society, the press and public opinion Karabakh. All that is said in Armenia,
is perceived as a dogma for the Karabakh people. And I think that's wrong. Azerbaijan understands
the role of Armenia in the Karabakh conflict and the role of the Karabakh war, the role
of officials in the Karabakh conflict. And no not going to deal with all the people of
Karabakh. "
Not so long ago in Moscow, representatives of Azerbaijani and Armenian Diaspora of Russia
tried to find a way to dialogue between the two nations. Official Baku reacted very sharply
to this meeting, but Azerbaijan is not everyone believes that the dialogue with the Armenians
can go in harm.
Avaz Hasanov: "I have always struggled with our diplomats, representatives of the Diaspora
because of their lack of policy and negotiation process. I think this is a very good step,
if it is not an imitation, if not discord authorities between Azerbaijanis and Armenians
in Moscow. I think it's very thoughtful step. "
