Isa Qambar: "Recognition of independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia is Russia's open challenge to the world society"

He considers the recognition of independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia to be an erroneous step from the side of the working leadership of Russia, which created a new situation in our region and leads to reassessment of trust to Russia from the side of the whole world society.

"I am sure that Azerbaijan should draw serious conclusions from the established situation and take all necessary measures to ensure its territorial integrity and security", said Qambar.

According to him, by its decision to recognize independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, Russia will cause its own international isolation and if the Armenian leadership decides to recognize independence of Nagorno Karabakh, it will not change Nagorno Karabakh's destiny, which is an integral part of Azerbaijan, but may lead to Armenia's international isolation and prove Armenia to be Russia's outpost in the Caucasus, rather than an independent state.

"Certainly, following these events, Azerbaijan, like Georgia, which has borders with Russia, can not feel safe from possible aggression from the Russia side. It means that Azerbaijan should accelerate its integration with NATO, which is the most effective system of security from possible aggression by Russia. It is time for taking definite steps in this direction. Any delay in this issue threatens the territorial integrity of our country".

He added that Musavat party, like the rest oppositional parties and movements of our country, is ready to forget all differences  for the national interests of Azerbaijan, if the Azerbaijan leadership conducts correct external policy.
