14:58:17 - 25/12/2008
A few days ago a conference on "Options of settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict from the Azerbaijani viewpoint" was organized
at the office of Conrad Adenauer Foundation in Berlin.
Elhan Nuriyev, director of the Center of Strategic Sciences under the
Azerbaijani President and Johannes Rau, member of the International
Security Forum under the German Military Academy were invited to
make speeches.
The NKR Permanent Representative to Germany Gayane Apinyan and the
Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Germany Parviz Shahbazov also took part
in the conference, held by Peter Hefele, senior officer of the Conrad
Adenauer Foundation.
The Azerbaijani representative developed his speech in the
context of the Azerbaijani territorial integrity and threat of
the Karabakh conflict settlement by force. In response, officer of
the German International Institute on Security Issues Uwe Halbach
and representative of the Union of the Christian-Democratic and
Christian-Social Parties in the Council of Europe Rayner Dornzaifer
noted that they treated the Azerbaijani territorial integrity with
understanding; however the existing new realities and facts should
be taken into account in solving the conflict. Uwe Halbach added that
the demand of territorial integrity is not absolute and sometimes not
realistic, exemplifying Georgia. Rayner Dornzaifer advised Azerbaijan
to learn a lesson from the history of Germany that, according to
him, after The World War II had to accept the existing reality, thus
guaranteeing peace and security in Europe. He expressed confidence
that in case of refusing the territorial integrity, Azerbaijan will
contribute to the peaceful settlement of the conflict and together
with Armenia will be given great assistance from the Council of Europe
for liquidating the consequences of the conflict.
In response to Nuriev's threatening to solve the Karabakh issue by
use of force, Gayane Apinyan in her turn reminded how many people from
both sides sacrificed during the previous war and in what unfavorable
conditions the people of Nagorno-Karabakh managed to uphold their
natural right to liberty.
"Today, in spite of Azerbaijan's furious armament, Nagorno-Karabakh,
due to its high state orderliness, is incomparably stronger and is
ready to defend its independence", she said.
Gayane Apinyan advised Azerbaijan's representatives to give up
revanchist aspirations and respect the right of the people of
Nagorno-Karabakh to independent existence.
