Recently a group of Azerbaijani activists led by the Armenian and
Azerbaijani ambassadors to Russia Armen Smbatyan and Polad Byul-Byul
oghli have visited Karabakh on an initiative of international
organizations. Does the visit mean change of the political stance of
Azerbaijan? What consequences can this change have for Karabakh?
KarabakhOpen.com asked Vahram Atanesyan, chair of the Committee of
External Relations and Information, to comment on this visit.
`This is a commendable move. The intelligentsia of the two peoples may
have an important role in building confidence without which resolution
is not realistic. We live side by side and neighbors cannot remain
hostile forever.
In the political context, this move will hardly be helpful but I think
if the initiative has continuation, it may underlie a dialogue. If the
intelligentsia of both countries are willing to set up a dialogue, it
will encourage politicians to look for more acceptable proposals,'
Vahram Atanesyan said.
