Azerbaijan, Baku / Trend corr.S.ilhamgizi / Aflatun Amashev, the
Azerbaijani Press Council's chairman, approved a group of Azerbaijani
intellectuals' visit to Nagorno-Karabakh.
"Presently we are the focus of attention of the international
community. Once we have agreed with peaceful co-existence with
Armenians, accept Armenians, residing in the Nagorno-Karabakh
territory, as Azerbaijani citizens, there was nothing reprehensible
in the visit of Azerbaijani intellectuals to Nagorno-Karabakh. I
believe that similar visits are necessary," Amashev said.
Recently there are abusive expressions directed to the Azerbaijani
intellectuals. Amashov said the Press Council had already undertaken
measures due to appeals.
The delegation of Azerbaijani and Armenian intellectuals chaired by
both countries visited Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia. The delegation
arrived in Shusha, as well as met with Arkadi Gukasan, the head of
Armenian separatists and also with the President of Armenia, Robert
Kocharan in Khankandi. The President of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, met
with the delegation in Baku. Kamal Abdulla, the member of the Press
Council's Department, was also amongst the Azerbaijani delegation.
