    Azerbaijan against foreign investments in Karabakh

    Public Television of Armenia, Yerevan
    1 May 04

    [Presenter] Azerbaijan is jealous of economic development in
    Karabakh. The Azerbaijani press concerned by the impressing indicators
    of the economic development in Artsakh [Karabakh] clarified that
    foreign investments have played an important role in this work. Some
    officials demanded clarification from those countries' embassies whose
    citizens are the Armenian businessmen engaged in business in Karabakh.

    Bahar Muradova, MP of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis, accused the
    Diaspora Armenians, in violation of the Azerbaijani laws, in that they
    must pay profit revenues to the Azerbaijani budget.

    [Correspondent over video of Karabakh plants] The Azerbaijanis are
    attentively following after the Nagornyy Karabakh economic
    achievements and were very concerned by the recent results. Announcing
    that the Artsakh Armenians have achieved 40 per cent GDP growth during
    one year, as the Azerbaijani Zerkalo newspaper noted foreign
    investments from various countries have played an important role in
    this achievement. These are the USA, France, Switzerland, Australia,
    Lebanon, Russia and neighbour Iran. The newspaper is writing about the
    Sasun company which is producing polyethylene plastics, whose director
    is the Iranian Armenian, Hovnan Avetyan. The Iranian Armenians are
    also planning production of construction materials in Susa [Shusha]. A
    correspondent of Zerkalo, in order to ask for clarification, called
    the Iranian embassy in Baku. The Iranian ambassador noted that Tehran
    is not keeping tabs on all its businessmen. But the Iranian
    businessmen saw that the investments in Karabakh are very profitable
    and therefore they are going to Karabakh.

    The chairman of the Karabakh Liberation Organization, Akif Nagi,
    announced that protest rallies will be soon staged outside the
    embassies of those countries from which investments are flooding to
    Nagornyy Karabakh. Akif Nagi also announced that protest rallies will
    be staged against the Iranian companies in Baku. They will demand the
    authorities to stop the activities of these companies. The deputy
    executive secretary of the ruling New Azerbaijan party, Bahar Muradova
    also defended Akif Nagi's opinion. She called the investors' moves a
    violation of Azerbaijani territorial integrity. The Iranian and other
    countries' citizens must respect the law, she said. Neither Nagi nor
    MP Muradova said that they in Azerbaijan will boycott the activity of
    the American and European companies which are working with
    Karabakh. If they did, then who would be working in Azerbaijan at all?
