"It is for the first time in 17 years that Azerbaijani delegation
overcomes a certain psychological barrier
and crosses a real border existing between the parties to the Karabakh
conflict," Head of the Delegation of Azerbaijani Intellectuals,
Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Russia Polad Bul Bul oglu said in NKR town
of Shushi. The Ambassador arrived in NKR together with the Armenian
Intellectuals headed by Armenian Ambassador to Russia Armen Smbatyan,
ArmInfo's special correspondent to Stepanakert reports.
Ambassador Bul Bul oglu said that representatives of both parties
demined the relevant area on the boundary for safety of the
delegations. "This situation is becoming unbearable," the Ambassador
said. He also added that intellectual people in Europe have united and
become world citizens. As a result, no borders have been left in
Europe. He expressed hope that the Armenian and Azerbaijani peoples are
"wise enough to break the situation and settle the conflict by peace
methods, through negotiations and compromises to live together," the
Ambassador said.
For his part, NKR President Arkady Ghoukassyan said: "We have no
guarantees that these meetings will become traditional as there is no
relevant atmosphere and there are too many disagreements." He stressed
the importance of such visits for peaceful settlement of the conflict.
"Our Azerbaijani colleagues who are now in Karabakh share the given
opinion. We will not be able to create an atmosphere of mutual trust
and will be far from the settlement if we fail listening to each
other," the president said.
To recap, on June 28, the Azerbaijani delegation crossed the
preliminary demined section of the contact line of NKR and Azerbaijani
Armed Forces, near Martakert-Terter (Mir Bashir) road. Official
representatives of Karabakh received the Azerbaijani delegation in the
field of NKR Defense Army and accompanied them to Stepanakert. A
delegation of Armenian intellectuals headed by Armenian Ambassador to
Russia Armen Smbatyan also visited the capital of NKR. Both ambassadors
initiated the visit.
