The declaration of Heydar Aliyev on that he is ready to give Lachin to Armenians in exchange for Meghri has been subjected to sharp criticism of Azeri politicians and experts. As «Arminfo» agency reports with reference to «Turan» agency, «Musavat» party leader Isa Gambar thinks the head of the state and his followers «did not have the right to deceive their people», denying the existence of principles of any kind until now. According to him, the raising of the issue on the bargain with the Azeri territories itself is intolerable. No one can take actions contrary to Azeri people’s will», Isa Gambar noted. Ex-foreign minister Tofik Zulfugarov, in his turn, noted «if Lachin is transferred to Armenia then a question-what lot will Karabakh have? – emerges». According to Zulfugarov, the transfer of Azeri territory to the sovereignty of Armenia makes the adoption of amendments to the Constitutions through referendum necessary. The statement of Heydar Aliyev means the factual transition of the initiative in the negotiation process to one of the OSCE Minsk group co-chairs: France. «Milli Istiglal» party deputy chairman Ilgar Mamedov has stated that. According to him, Aliyev’s statement does not correspond to the interests of Azerbaijan. Mamedov thinks, Azerbaijan does not have to agree with the «peace- in exchange for territories» principle.
