    Azerbaijani journalist, publisher and writer Seymur Bayca says that
    Armenians and Azerbaijanis need to meet with each other. He has been
    to Armenia for five times. He has been invited also to Karabakh. The
    journalists wishes to go there, but fears that on his return he
    ill face hostile disposition. Seymur, who works at the opposition
    "Realni Azerbaijan" newspaper, regrets that Azerbaijanis are
    very aggressive on such issues.

    Seymur was born in Fizuli and lived there for 14 years. He retrieves
    that Armenians and Azerbaijanis lived there in peace.

    Seymur says he has many Armenian friends - journalists, writers
    and common citizens. He likes Yerevan more than the capital of his
    country. "Baku is a very noisy city. Generally I do not like such
    cities, I'm afraid of these. Now it has become very hard for me
    to live in Baku and I'm going to move," the journalist says.

    Seymur writes predominantly on political and social issues. He is
    one of the most famous journalists in Azerbaijan. He was awarded a
    number of honorable prizes.

    "Now only the journalists are opposition in Azerbaijan. One of
    them - editor-in-chief of the "Monitor" newspaper Elmar
    Huseynov - was killed last year, and up to now the criminals have
    not been called to responsibility. Another opposition journalist was
    beaten recently. Doctors say he will stay handicapped. The third one
    was sent to jail. Now every opposition journalist is waiting for his
    turn," Seymur states.

    The Azeri journalist concludes that from time to time it is necessary
    to organize meetings between Armenians and Azerbaijanis.
