    LEVON MELIK-SHAHNAZARYAN: BEING NOBLE DOES NOT MEAN BEING A COWARD

    Turning to the Karabakh issue the Turkish Hurriyet Daily wrote that
    "Armenia and Azerbaijan reached a partial agreement on a solution plan
    for the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. According to the plan, Armenia
    will return some of the towns surrounding the Nagorno-Karabakh
    including Kelbajar to Azerbaijan." The paper stated also that the
    railroad and highway between Azerbaijan and Armenia will be opened,
    while an international peace force will be deployed at the border
    region between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.

    "This is the recurrent misinformation of the Hurriyet," political
    scientist Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan says, noting that such an agreement
    could not have been reached, if at least on of the proposals of the
    Minsk Group remains undecided.

    "The main issue for us is the status of Nagorno Karabakh, while for
    them it is important to regain the territorial integrity of Soviet
    Azerbaijan.

    These are contradicting issues," the political scientist said.

    According to Melik-Shahnazaryan, until recently Azerbaijan's threats
    of starting war were mainly meant for the outer world, i.e. if they
    don't help Azerbaijan solve the Karabakh issue, it will launch war,
    and different countries will suffer.

    The Azeri side is actively spreading hatred among the public, in
    textbooks and press, Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan says, adding that he
    watches the Azerbaijani programs and reads the newspapers. "They use
    the word enemy instead of the word Armenian, and present Armenians
    as bloodsuckers" he said.

    The political scientist considers that from time to time Azerbaijan
    should be reminded that we are not a nation that loves war, we are
    a nation that manages to win the war.

    "The world should understand that being noble does not mean being a
    coward," Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan concluded.
