    AZERBAIJANI JOURNALIST CALLS FOR USING POTENTIAL ON CREATION OF ATMOSPHERE OF CONFIDENCE

    YEREVAN, JULY 10, NOYAN TAPAN. Distrust existing between the Armenian
    and Azerbaijani peoples is the biggest problem in the settlement
    of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Alekper Aliyev, free journalist,
    writer-publicist from Azerbaijan, declared at the international
    conference titled "European Integration as a Factor Contributing
    to the Settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh Conflict" held on July 10
    in Yerevan.

    According to him, mutual demonization, growing military expenditures
    and cases of violation of the cease-fire agreement becoming more
    frequent are evidence that time "assigned" for the peaceful settlement
    is expiring. Aliyev mentioned that it is necessary to "impose a ban"
    on the mutual propaganda of hatred and to use the potential on creating
    an atmosphere of confidence between the peoples. In the Azerbaijani
    journalist's opinion, the parallel process will play a great role
    in this respect: namely, there are supporters of a dialogue in the
    civil societies of the conflict sides. Especially as the NGO sector
    representatives do not bear the burden of being accountable to Moscow,
    Washington or Paris.

    Alekper Aliyev emphasized the necessity to implement programs aimed
    at improving mutual understanding and tolerance, especially among
    the representatives of the civil society and journalists. Measures
    on extension and deepening of democratic processes in both countries
    could play a great role in achieving a compromise.

    "The situation will improve when the compromise loses the negative
    meaning it has for both countries at the moment and in this case the
    sides will consider the Nagorno Karabakh settlement as an integral
    part of these countries' integration to the European Union," the
    Azerbaijani journalist declared.

    As for the frame agreement proposed by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs,
    he declared that Azerbaijan agrees to the referendum in Nagorno
    Karabakh after 10 years and only after the return of the refugees.
