    ARMENIAN AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA: WE HAVE DEVELOPED THE IDEA TO ORGANIZE ONE MORE VISIT TO NAGORNO KARABAKH WITH POLAD BUL BUL OGHLU IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PREVIOUS ONE

    Ambassador of Armenia to Russia Armen Smbatian responded to
    questions related to information about the forthcoming joint visit
    of the representatives of Armenian and Azerbaijani community in
    Nagorno-Karabakh.

    When asked about information that he, together with the Ambassador of
    Azerbaijan to Russia Polad Bul-Bul oglu are going to organize a visit
    of representatives of the two countries to Armenia, self-declared
    Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan, Armen Smbyatyan said: "We have
    developed the idea to organize one more visit to Nagorno Karabakh
    with Polad Bul Bul oghlu immediately after the previous one, as we
    (hopefully, not only we) felt the need for such contacts - in the
    end of the trip there appeared a small sign, bringing the two nations
    closer.

    For the first time, in conditions of negative information constantly
    renewed and purposefully addressed to the public, there appear a
    positive line of possible cooperation. I want to emphasize that these
    visits are not intended to replace the negotiating process. As before,
    we are for negotiations between heads of states within the OSCE Minsk
    Group. However, I consider it appropriate for the representatives
    of various sectors of our society to continue to communicate with
    each other".

    Asked about the reason of a long interval between a previous and
    a planned visit and the reason for certain "secrecy" around the new
    trip, he replied as follows:

    "Since 2007, our countries have recorded significant political
    developments, in view of which the new tour was postponed. Now,
    in my opinion, there has been created a congenial atmosphere for
    the visit. The absence of advance information, which you called a
    "mystery" is caused not only by the usual diplomatic practice,
    but a special sensitivity of the issue. It lies in a mechanism of
    coordination and organization of a trip, as this raises many issues,
    both political and ethno-psychological, social and ethno-cultural ones.

    If the information on this trip is presented ahead of time or will
    be made incorrectly, the interests of participants of the event will
    be affected in such a way that it will simply be frustrated. This is
    unacceptable, especially because today in conditions of a certain
    decrease in the level of effectiveness of other contacts between
    Azerbaijan and Armenia, it is vitally important to develop the contacts
    between the representatives of our public.

    Believe me, there will always be forces that neglecting the interests
    of peoples and nations because of thoughtlessness or mercantile
    personal motives, would be happy to derail the process. In this
    connection I urge the media, as well as representatives of "reliable
    sources" to be very responsible to each statement and information on
    the subject".
