    AZERBAIJANI PEOPLE'S ARTIST: ARMENIANS HAVE LOST MUCH MORE THAN THEY OBTAINED

    "A writer can not help but feel sad if his nation experiences grief.

    It certainly has an impact on my works," Azerbaijani writer, Chairman
    of Azerbaijan Writers' Union Anar Rzayev said.

    "As to my position on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, I'm sure: both
    Azerbaijanis and Armenians have lost much from the Karabakh conflict.

    First of all, it disrupted the tradition of living together. At the
    same time, as I have stated repeatedly, we can win the battle, but
    it is difficult to win the war," Rzayev said.

    "Armenians control Karabakh and 20% of Azerbaijani territory at the
    moment. But they have lost Baku, Ganja, Sumgait. If we take seriously
    into account their ability to work in business and natural sociability,
    I have not doubt that they have long been owners of restaurants,
    banks and corporations in Azerbaijan. So, they have lost much more
    than they obtained," he said.

    "At the same time, Armenians are our eternal neighbors, and we must
    find some way to get along with them.You can not live forever with the
    burden of the past, dragging the past to the present day. Historical
    experience shows examples of how people, once at odds with each other,
    in certain circumstances quickly found a common language with each
    other and continued along the path of constructive progress.

    Therefore, from the standpoint of historical optimism, I still continue
    to hope that someday we will address all problems with Armenians. But
    they must understand that claim to our territory are unfounded,"
    the writer noted.
