Azerbaijani opposition is splitted and weak, which negatively affects the domestic situation in the country, Executive Director of London Information Network on Conflicts and State-building (LINKS) Dennis Sammut said at the 73rd NATO PA Rose-Roth seminar in Yerevan, speaking of the Political developments in Azerbaijan.

He emphasized that all the three countries in South Caucasus have a long and complicated way in the process of democratization. “Shortly, all three states will have a chance to see EU’s increasing role in the process,” Sammut stated.

According to him, South Caucasian countries will be unable to take an independent line on the way to democracy and here Europe can aid them. Touching upon the conflict resolution, particularly Karabakh issue, Sammut emphasized the necessity of the intensification of ties between Armenian and Azerbaijani civil societies. He maintained that it will greatly contribute to the conlifct settlement.

Executive Director of the International Center for Human Development (ICHD) Tevan Poghosyan pronounced for the issue.
