Azeri former state advisor on foreign policy issues, at present independent expert Vafa Guluzade called the visit of the OSCE Minsk group co-chairs to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict region “peace process imitation.” As reported by “De Facto” agency, commenting on the MG co-chairs’ visit to the conflict region, Guluzade told “Echo” Baku newspaper, “How long can one examine “the parties’ positions?” In Guluzade’s opinion, the positions of Azerbaijan and Armenia can be brought closer. He completely ruled out the opportunity for the mediators to get something positive from the Aliyev-Kocharian meeting in Sadarak. “If any positive results had been achieved, the two Presidents would have declared it first of all,” – the former state advisor considers. In his words, the negotiation parties conceal the fact of absence of mutual understanding: compromise, which was hovering (exchange of territories, etc.) appeared to be idle talk – no one is ready to it. Being asked what the Azeri authorities gain from the visit, Guluzade noted, “They imitate peace process, which does not exist. It ceased existence on May 12, 1994. At the beginning we believed in that imitation ourselves, we do not any more now, but continue feigning that we do.”
