ACCORDING TO AZERI ARTIST, CULTURE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO SETTLEMENT OF
NAGORNO KARABAKH CONFLICT
YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 7, NOYAN TAPAN. Culture can contribute to settlement
of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, to reconciliation between the
Armenian and Azeri peoples. Zulfugar Farzaliyev, a Merited Art Figure
of Azerbaijan, expressed such an opinion in his speech made at the
conference on the subject "The countries of the Caucasus and Near East
as possible partners in the process of formation of a regional security
system." In his words, the Caucasian peoples during their history have
created considerable layers of world civilization, which can serve for
provision of the security of the very peoples today.
According to Z. Farzaliyev, spreading of foreign populist culture is
called up to liquidate the cultural peculiarities of the peoples living
in the region, is aimed against their identity. The tedencies of
cultural globalization are alien to the mentality of all Caucasian
peoples and cannot but cause a wish to jointly oppose them.
The Azeri artist considers that in a region populated with many nations
and peoples any incautious word or step can cause a chain reaction.
Meanwhile, any kind step will receive an adequate positive response by
creating conditions for strengthening of mutual confidence and mutual
understanding. Z. Farzaliyev said that the repair of the Blue Mosque of
Yerevan is one of such positive steps, and the Armenian side has a
right to expect such steps also towards Armenian cultural monuments in
the territory of Azerbaijan.
Z. Farzaliyev considers that the necessity of creation of a program,
within the framework of which the members of the two peoples' civil
societies can cooperate, has matured long ago. He affirmed that such an
interstate and at the same time non-state cultural program will
contribute to development of mutual understanding, will create a
possibility to efficiently oppose new outbreaks of the conflict.
