Aliyev Claims International Support For Karabakh ‘Autonomy’

BAKU (RFE/RL)—Azeri President Ilham Aliyev has again ruled out the possibility of recognizing Nagorno-Karabakh’s secession from Azerbaijan and claimed to have secured broad international support for the disputed territory’s return under Azerbaijani rule.

In a New Year’s address to the nation, Aliyev spoke of “very important steps” towards the resolution of the Karabakh conflict which he said were taken in the course of 2009.

“The entire international community and parties directly dealing with this issue are demonstrating their will on how the problem will be solved,” he said, according to Azerbaijani media. “It is very heartening that the dominant position is the one which Azerbaijan has asserted for many years. That is, the issue must be solved on the basis of international law, within the framework of the territorial integrity of countries.

“Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity was not, is not and will never be a topic of negotiations. Nagorno-Karabakh will never become an independent state … Azerbaijan will never agree to that.”

“The Armenians residing in Nagorno-Karabakh and the Azerbaijanis that will be living there must live within the framework of a status of autonomy, and the most advanced international experience must be applied in that area,” he added.

Other Azerbaijani officials also stated in previous weeks that Baku can only grant Karabakh limited self-governance despite accepting peoples’ right to self-determination as one of the core principles for resolving the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. Both territorial integrity and self-determination were mentioned in a joint declaration adopted in late October by top diplomats from Armenia, Azerbaijan as well as three mediating powers: the United States, Russia and France.

The conflicting parties also make differing public interpretations of the “basic principles” of a Karabakh settlement put forward by the U.S., Russian and French co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group. The proposed framework agreement calls for the return to Azerbaijan of liberated territories linking Armenia and Karabakh and a future referendum of self-determination in the Armenian-controlled territory.

Azerbaijani officials claim that Karabakh’s indigenous Armenian population could only determine the extent of its self-rule within Azerbaijan. Armenian officials insist, however, the Karabakh Armenians would be able to vote for independence, reunification with Armenia or return under Azerbaijani control in the would-be referendum.

In his speech, Aliyev again threatened to end the bitter conflict by force. “Today our army is capable of achieving all objectives,” he said. “We have all the possibilities of freeing our land of occupation: both the military capacity and the patriotic spirit.”

Aliyev’s Armenian counterpart Serzh Sarkisian, meanwhile, assured his compatriots on New Year’s Eve that the armed forces of Armenia and Karabakh remain in a position to maintain the status quo in the conflict zone. “Today, peace and stability in our region are more steady than one year ago,” Sarkisian said in a televised speech. “Components of that stability are numerous and in each of them Armenia has its significant and indispensable part.”

“For us the most important among those components is the maturing Armenian Army which is safeguarding the Motherland day and night, including this festive moment, the Army which was built by our immortal martyrs, who brought our people a victorious peace,” he added.

Neither Aliyev, nor Sarkisian commented on prospects for Karabakh peace in 2010. The two leaders held six face-to-face meetings in 2009 and are expected to meet again in the coming months. The international mediators have repeatedly urged them to iron out their remaining differences over the basic principles.

    Someone needs to tell this forever greasy dude the realities: (A) You lost the war. (B) Losers usually don’t dictate terms. (C) It was war you started. (D) You lost land that didn’t belong to you in the first place. You have been occupying these lands since the 1920’s when you were just “given” the land by Joseph Stalin (E) You treated the rightfull owners of those lands like garbage while occupying it. (F) You should be careful what you aspire too because another war might caust you more land as well as the detruction of your oil life line and more then likely ousting you with a long overdue ragime change.

      John, I agree with all the fantastic points you raise.  Now if only we had an effective propaganda machine that declared and drew attention to these points on an international level.  If our leaders do not feel comfortable shouting these facts back at Aliev, we should at least have our journalists and commentators answer back with articles titled: ” Aliev, how can you ask for the return of lands that did not belong to you in the first place?”  Why isn’t this fact, as well as the fact that Azerbaijan lost a war that it launched, and as a consequence the Armenian side liberated its long occupied/given away lands, aren’t being shouted to the world and Azerbaijan on a more effective level, in the US and international media, newspaper and internet venues?  I wish someone in our leadership can explain why we are not taking advantage of this Golden opportunity to unveil the facts about how Karabagh became to be part of Azerbaijian, and the reasons why the Krabaghzies are demanding self determination.  Why is the Armenian response so lacking and weak?

        Why are we ssooo silent about voicing our victory?  Why can’t someone bring these point out on the water?
        I guess we should start sending letters to Azeri President explaining that even though he is in denial and the ARmenian govt may be slienced by force, the people will not be stopped and we know the truth…
        something has to be done..

    The 1969 Vienna convention on the Law of Treaties notes in its preamble that both the threat and the use of force are prohibited. Moreover, in Article 52, it establishes the principle that if threats of using force are made during diplomatic negotiations, then any resulting treaty is invalid, stating
    “A treaty is void if its conclusion has been procured by the threat or use of force in
    violation of the principles of international law embodied in the Charter of the
    United Nations”.
    Armenians should file criminal charges against Aliyev for violation of the above treaty.

    The only way to deal with Azeri threats is to encourage Iranians to put their claws around Azerbaijan and tighten the screws. Diplomatically of course!
    Can an impoverished country like Armenia afford a second war?  A war that might be a protracted grinding war, a conflict that might last years or decades! Can we all Armenians support sacrificing precious Armenian lives that long. How do we know the Turks will not cross the border this time? They did it in Cyprus, and they did it several times in northern Iraq. Think about! All of you!

      Hamik, no one wants war and yes another war could hurt Armenia however, in order to defeat an enemy one must understand the enemy. Turks/Azeri’s are predatory. They are ultra opportunists and will exploit any opportunity if they sense a weakness. These animals understand one thing only: The big stick. They need to understand that another war might hurt Armenia but they will hurt as well and next time maybe worse. During the Genocide our own Catholigos instructed the Armenians to not fight for fear of  further retribution and we know how that turned out; total destruction of the Armenian race. No, freedom involves fighting or we will forever be slaves to these Mongols!

      You’re right, presidential elections will be held in Azerbaijan in October 2013.
       
      Mr. Aliyev and Azerbaijan doesn’t seem to understand that the resolution of a conflict is not based only on the conditions and desires of one of its parts, but the mutual making of concessions to achieve terms that are acceptable for both parts. Nor you will have everything you want and according to your conditions, nor will we.

    You guys are so good at talking to each other. Why don’t you talk directly to the Azeri’s and let them know what if anything you are prepared to doabout Shahumyan and Nakhichevan regions still under Azeri Occupation.

    • Dino Ajemian says:

      I already talked to them many years ago about Nakhichevan and Shahumyan and about the entire right bank of the Kura river. They were confident to take all of Armenia and I said come and get it. Dont be afraid. do it. If you turks are so invincible come and get it. No reply to that of course. Had they attacked 5 years ago Armenia would have its natural historic borders at the Kura river. It could have easily been done in September 1993 but the barbarians to the west of Armenia amassed an army of 60,000 Mongoloids. In 1994 it would have been possible to reach our historic border to the caspian sea but unfortunately ceasefire was forced on us. Now the great game for control of the world energy resources is in full swing. Armenia will hardly exist because of it. If the Armenian people understood that Armenia would be strangled by not only the barbarians but also the russians, europeans and americans then maybe we would have done the right things. Israelis keep their existence in perspective. If the Jews thought like Armenians they would have been thrown into the sea a long time ago. If the Armenians can think outside the box and  realize that our continued existence is a not given then maybe we have a chance to survive and eventually beat our eternal genocidal enemies.

    Dear Svetlana,
    I agree with you…however, what do you think the people in Diaspora have been doing?  Wanting to talk is one thing, trying to talk to people, Azeri’s and of course the Armenian govt (lets not discriminate here) is completely different matters.. how can you talk to people who have thik heads and are stupid and ignorant?..
    We are always coming up with ways to communicate and spread the word out.  No matter how small that is, one voice adds to another and eventually we will have a roar.. Unfortunately, this has been a very slow process due to many factors that Diaspora and ARmenians in Armenia face.
    Our goal, well at least my goal is to spread the word and yell as loud as I can to educate non-Armenians as well as those Armenians who see the state of our people, country and culture with black and dead eyes..
    Hope that we will have a victory.. for our sake and put away the whiny and shriveled up individuals like Aliev in Koo-Koo house.

    Hey fellow readers ! Armenia’s President works for other people and does NOT work for the people of Armenia, so we shouldn’t really be expecting him to actually say something back to Aliyev…because he probably wont ! From the bottom of my heart I beg each and every one of you to please go and google “azerbaijan: the real, the fake and absurd” Please please please do it now ! A Young Armenian man from Iran has spent years writing this article on the entire historyof azerbaijan…theres things in his article you would have never have known about. Do yourselves a favour and read it, then re-read it and tell all your friends to read it.  This article is so well written and so full of facts, theres nothing misleading or any lies.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Disability profiles supported in our website

    • Epilepsy Safe Mode: this profile enables people with epilepsy to use the website safely by eliminating the risk of seizures that result from flashing or blinking animations and risky color combinations.
    • Visually Impaired Mode: this mode adjusts the website for the convenience of users with visual impairments such as Degrading Eyesight, Tunnel Vision, Cataract, Glaucoma, and others.

Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
