The conference of Caucasus Intercultural Festival in the Turkish city
of Kars has ended.
"The conference lost its essence after Azerbaijani side's protest,
and pan-Armenian forces failed to achieve their ambitions," Azerbaijani
consul in Kars Hasan Zeynalov told the APA.
Stating that the agenda of the conference was changed seriously the
consul said he had talks with the head of Kars local authority-one
of the organizers of the conference.
"The local authority chief has changed his mind after Azerbaijani
side's protests. He said the conference served promoting peace in
the Caucasus no just for opening Armenia-Turkey border," Zeynalov said.
Armenian and Azerbaijani folklore groups, invitees to the Festival,
came into conflict several days ago.
Armenians behaved immorally against Azerbaijani representatives using
insulting words in Armenian.
Azerbaijani folklore group protested against this and left for
Igdir. Head of Igdir local authority Nureddin Aras and intellectuals
issued a statement criticizing Armenians' participation at Kars
festival.
