    Armenians in Azerbaijan Do Not Face Religious & Ethnic Intolerance `

    Azerbaijan, Baku, 2 May /Trend News corr I. Alizade/ Currently 50,000
    Armenians live in Azerbaijan and they do not face religious or ethnic
    intolerance. `No one can blame us in this connection,' Ziyafat
    Askarov, First Vice-Speaker of Azerbaijani Parliament, said at the
    meeting with the Bavarian parliamentary delegation on 2 May.


    According to Askarov, Armenia committed ethnic cleansing and 250,000
    Azerbaijanis living in that country were evicted from their
    homes. `The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict which arose from Armenia's
    aggressive policy towards Azerbaijan impedes the development of the
    country. Aggression is still commonplace,' he said.


    The Bavarian parliamentary delegation headed by Manfred Ach arrived in
    Azerbaijan on 1 May. Bavarian MPs will hold a range of meetings at the
    Parliament, Foreign Ministry and Economic Development Ministry of
    Azerbaijan.
