    BAKU 'WILL NEVER' DRIVE ARMENIANS OUT OF KARABAKH

    Elkhan Polukhov The Foreign Ministry has described as unfounded the
    Armenian president's remarks that Armenians would be driven out of
    Karabakh after a settlement.

    'Mr Sargsyan seems not to know that Azerbaijan will never drive out
    its population because of their ethnicity,' Foreign Ministry spokesman
    Elkhan Polukhov said today.

    About 30,000 Armenians live in Azerbaijan and 'enjoy all the rights
    extended to citizens of the country and no policy on their ethnicity
    is conducted against them', Polukhov said.

    'Therefore, it is unfounded to say that immediately after the
    resolution of the conflict Azerbaijan, which has 30,000 Armenian
    citizens in its nonoccupied lands, will drive out the Armenian citizens
    of Nagorno-Karabakh. If this is how Azerbaijan lives today, why would
    it conduct a different policy towards its citizens in Nagorno-Karabakh
    tomorrow?' Polukhov asked.

    He was commenting on an interview given by Armenian President Serzh
    Sargsyan to German weekly Der Spiegel.

    The Armenian president's spokesman, Armen Arzumanyan, told Tert.Am
    today that Der Spiegel had promised to correct what he described as
    inaccuracies in the weekly's published version of Serzh Sargsyan's
    interview.

    As of 13.00 GMT on Monday the interview could not be found in German
    or Russian on Der Spiegel's website.
