    BAKU RESENTFUL OVER OSCE MG CO-CHAIR'S TWEET ON SUMGAIT

    March 3, 2014 - 16:38 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Baku expressed resentment over a Twitter post of
    the U.S. Co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, commemorating the Sumgait
    pogroms.

    "We also remember Sumgait. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan should support
    people-to-people programs to develop tolerance and trust," James
    Warlick tweeted.

    According to APA, Azeri Foreign Ministry was fast to react to the
    post. "Unrests happened in Sumgait, but the causes, context, facts
    and realities are completely different," Deputy Foreign Minister Araz
    Azimov said, commenting on Warlick's post.

    As Azimov noted, Warlick also shared his views on the so-called
    "Khojalu genocide" on Twitter. "Twitter is not a place to discuss
    Khojalu," Azimov added.

    "On the date of the Khojalu tragedy, we are reminded that violence
    is not the answer. All parties must work harder for a peaceful
    settlement," said Warlick in his Tweet.

    "I can not respond to Warlick on Twitter, because the message on
    Twitter must consist of only 120 letters. Warlick has recently been
    appointed to this post and should view the realities of the conflict,"
    Azimov said.
