In an exclusive interview to Armenian online newspaper Aysor, the Deputy Speaker of the British House of Lords Baroness Caroline Cox said "Azerbaijan used its citizens as a shield in Khojalu." The interview was taken on September 22, when Cox was visiting Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh for the launch of a charity even founded by her and the British “Lilis Consulting” company.

A top journalist from Russia says former Soviet Union and Gorbachev bear responsibility for resolving the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, which has been frozen already 15 year between the self-determination rights of Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan's desire to control the region.

Despite the difference between the Kosovo and Nagorno Karabakh conflicts, independence of Kosovo can set a precedent for conflicts like in Nagrono Karabakh, Dov Lynch OSCE Secretariat Senior Adviser, said when addressing Rose-Roth NATO seminar in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Armenia and Azerbaijan are in long dispute over the Armenian enclave of Nagorno Karabakh. However, international community, Armenians and mediators' helping Azerbaijan to host 2016 Olympic Games could help to resolve the conflict quicker, through peaceful means. Azerbaijan is better off with Olympic Games, the money, attention and tourism that it brings than with Nagorno Karabakh, which is going to be like an investment sink.

It is true that in today's world the strength of arms will not conquer any land or resolve any war. Azerbaijan continues wrongly accusing Armenia and misleading international community on the issue of Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

Azerbaijan has said that armed clashes with Armenia over the disputed Nagorny Karabakh territory could resume at any moment, an Azerbaijani Defense Ministry official said on Friday.

Azerbaijan's defense minister said military conflict with Armenia over the disputed Nagorno Karabakh area was likely but his Armenian counterpart denied such a possibility.

Armenia must voluntarily cede Azerbaijani territory if it wants to avoid a new war over Nagorno-Karabakh, the Azerbaijani president said Monday.

In geopolitics, particularly in a place as strategically important as the South Caucasus, even the smallest shift can unleash major consequences.

The conflict of Nagorno Karabakh that involves Armenia and Azerbaijan can only be solved by respecting the laws that have governed the situation at the outset. Nagorno Karabakh gained independence according to the USSR law via referendum.

The President of Azerbaijan, Mr. Ilham Aliyev while conducting negotiations with neighborhing Armenia more often has started using the language of threat and force. This is never productive if Mr. Aliyev wants to reach some tangible results. The humanity clearly learned in the past 5 years and by looking back to the history that military force has never and will never achieve lasting peace or occupation.
