Azerbaijan rejects "Pridnestrovian model" for resolution of conflicts
Azerbaijan considers unacceptable to apply the so-called "Pridnestrovian model" for the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, head of the Azerbaijan President's administration department for foreign relations Novruz Mamedov announced.
He viewed the assumption of some local mass media that Russian First Deputy Foreign Minister Vyacheslav Trubnikov during his visit to Baku proposed using the "Pridnestrovian model" for the Karabakh conflict settlement as "far from reality".
Mr. Mamedov considers such a method of the conflict resolution unacceptable for Azerbaijan for in this case a unitary state becomes a federal one. "Each of the conflicts available is unique. Therefore it is impossible to apply any unified model for their settlement," the representative of the President's administration said.
