yesterday, held a press conference today, APA reports.
The head of delegation, Azerbaijani ambassador to Russia Polad
Bulbuloglu stated that after negotiating with his Armenian counterpart
Armen Smbatyan on the necessity of establishing intercourse between
the two communities, they decided to organize such visit.
Bulbuloglu regards that contact should be maintained with 60-70
thousand Azerbaijani citizens of Armenian descent living in Nagorno
Karabakh, as two nations have always lived together and will live
after it. The member of delegation, rector of Baku Slavic University
Kamal Abdullah stated that they had no any threat while visiting their
original places. Kamal Abdulla shared his impression on the miserable
condition in Shusha city stressing that the people seemed poor and
miserable. He attached importance of mainting contact between the
two communities.
"One day Azerbaijanis and Armenians will live together in Karabakh.
So, it is important to seek for a contact spot between the
communities," he stressed.
Responding to the question of journalist "can you write a novel
similar to "Bahadur and Sona" in the future" Abdulla said "yes".
Rector of Baku Music Academy Farhad Badalbayli said when touching on
the Nagorno problem in Europe he is always asked whether talks are
held with Armenian community and whether they are told that they will
live happily in Azerbaijan.
"I always thought that I would never be able to see Shusha, my
grandfather's house . I happy to have visited the region," he stressed.
The professor also called the visit very hard, "I witnessed that Shusha
cannot survive without Azerbaijan. This is the demand of the soil,"
he said.
Chief of Theater of Figures Union Azerpasha Nematov considers that
Shusha could only be occupied as a result of betrayal. The union chief
expressed his confidence that the entire Karabakh will be released
and regarded this visit as a great step.
"We showed Azerbaijan's greatness," he said.
Polad Bulbuloglu commented on their sitting in the room with the
symbols of the so-called regime.
"Arkadai Gukasyan is the head of Armenian community and there was
such atmosphere that we could not protest him," he said.
The ambassador considers that Azerbaijani community should be involved
in the negotiations on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and the head of
the community Nizami Bahmanov will also visit Nagorno Karabakh. /APA/
