    GRIGORY AYVAZYAN SAYS AZERBAIJANI-ARMENIAN REFUGEES MUST RAISE THEIR VOICE

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 11, ARMENPRESS: 'Taking advantage of the absence
    of the Armenian side, Azerbaijan used the chair of Brussels for its
    goals and propaganda; however we, as stakeholders and injured party
    in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, had a lot to tell not only the
    European Parliament, but also the whole world,' according to Grigory
    Ayvazyan, chairman of the 'Assembly of Azerbaijani-Armenians'.

    He said today at a meeting with journalists that they received
    an invitation from the European Parliament for partaking in
    the conference; however the Embassy of Germany hindered their
    participation. Discussions on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and issues
    of refugees were held February 9 at the European Parliament. The
    Armenian party did not manage to partake in it for not receiving a
    visa in time. 'We wanted to tell the truth in Brussels.

    We wanted to tell that the conflict started not in February, 1992,
    but in 1988, with a decision by the Azerbaijani authorities, which
    organized the massacres of more than 500 000 thousand Armenian
    citizens of Azerbaijan,' Grigory Ayvazyan said. He added that he
    does not have a status of refugee yet. The speaker informed that they
    intend to undertake measures for spreading the information.

    'The oil-dollars of Baku played the needed role and in the result of
    that we did not manage to attend the conference, which actually became
    a solo-concert of Azerbaijanis,' Grigory Ayvazyan said. Arman Melikyan,
    former foreign minister of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, said today
    at a press conference that the issue of the Armenian refugees of
    Azerbaijan must be raised in not an 'amateur', but political level.

    'Even if we managed to be present at the conference, it would be the
    next attempt to show how poor and tortured we are,' Arman Melikyan
    said. He says raising the issue in a political level implies demanding
    to give the liberated territories of Artsakh to the Armenian refugees
    of Azerbaijan through talks.
