Karabakh Issue
AZERBAIJANI DELEGATION TO ARMENIA CURSED AT HOME
Former Culture Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan, at present the
ambassadors of their states to Russia, Armen Smbatian and Polad
Bul-Bul Oglu organized a joint tour of Armenian and Azeri
intellectuals to Yerevan, Stepanakert and Baku. The delegations were
recived by the presidents of the countries they visited.
On June 28 in Baku took place the interview of Bul-Bul Oglu and the
members of the Azerbaijani delegation. As Bul-Bul Oglu started to
speak, representative of "Karabakh Liberation Movement" Mahir Kerimov
made a number of inappropriate statements to his address. A quarrel
began and it was finally settled by the police detaining the movement
activist. Agif Nagi, leader of the movement, made another quarrel with
his speech criticizing the idea of the visit itself. The policed was
forced to detain him, too.
After the audience calmed down, Polad Bul-Bul Oglu stated that he
considers the visit to Armenia and Karabakh a right and important move
and added that he is intended to continue activity in that
direction. He said that the Armenian and Azerbaijani sides could even
cooperate in frameworks of humanitarian programs, such as
reconstruction of the Azerbaijani mosque in Shushi, which is at
present undertaken by the Armenians.
Rector of the Slavonic University of Azerbaijan, Kyamal Abdullah
stated that both Armenian and Azerbaijani intellectuals are advocates
of peace settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
The Azerbaijani delegation also stated that their meeting with the
Armenian representatives brought down the psychological barrier
between the sides of the Karabakh conflict for the first time in 17
years. They said that in case both the sides have the good will and
opportunity to continue reciprocal visits, this format may become an
important factor of peace settlement of the conflict.
