Dağlık Karabağ Sorununun Çözümü (1991 ve 2002) Azerbaycan Elit Görüşü

Öz

Bu çalışma, Azerbaycan’ın önde gelen seçkinlerinin Dağlık Karabağ sorununun çözümü hakkındaki görüşlerini içermektedir. 1991 yılından 2001 yılının sonuna kadar olan dönem Azerbaycan’daki seçkinlerin gözleriyle incelenmektedir. Burada sunulan tartışma, Aralık 2001 yılında Bakü’de, Azerbaycan’da sözü geçen siyasi seçkinlerle gerçekleştirilen yirmi dokuz derinlemesine mülakat üzerine temellendirilmiştir. Dağlık Karabağ sorununun çözümü konusunda Azerbaycan’ın geliş- tirdiği ulusal politika, Haydar Aliyev hükümetinin Dağlık Karabağ konusundaki duruşu, kaçkınlar ve kaybedilen toprakları savaşarak geri almak fikri bu yazının ana temalarını oluşturmaktadır. Askeri çözüm alternatifi üzerindeki vurgu ve barış sürecinde herhangi bir önkoşul kabul etmeme eğilimi giderek güçleniyor izlenimi vermektedir. Bu yaklaşım, uluslararası toplum tarafından kabul görmeyen bölgedeki mevcut durumun devamına katkıda bulunmaktadır.

Azerbaijani Elite Opinion on the Resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict (1991 and 2002)

Öz

This study is about the views of the leading members of the Azerbaijani elite on the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. It covers the period from 1991 to the end of 2001 through the lenses of the Azerbaijani elite. The discussion presented in this article is based on twenty-nine in-depth personal interviews conducted with the influential members of the Azerbaijani political elite in Baku in December 2001. The focus is on issues like Azerbaijan’s national policy for the settlement of the conflict, the stance of the Heydar Aliyev government on Nagorno-Karabakh, the refugees and the surfacing ideas about renewed warfare. The emphasis on a military option and the tendency for not accepting any preconditions during the peace process appear to be intensifying. This contributes to the protraction of the current status quo in the region, which is inadmissible for the international community
