Baku. Lachin Sultanova-APA. "Under these circumstances Azerbaijani and
Armenian communities of Nagorno Karabakh have no role in the process
of negotiations", Chairman of Public Union "Azerbaijani Community of
Nagorno Karabakh" Nizami Bahmanov told APA.
He considers that the co-chairs' visit to Khankendi and meeting with
the separatists were offered by Merzlyakov.
"Merzlyakov follows Kazimirov's tradition. Russia attempts to involve
Armenian community of Nagorno Karabakh in the negotiations as a third
party", he said.
Bahmanov also said that the public union sent a protest to the
co-chairs.
"The presidents hold negotiations on the settlement of the conflict and
give instructions to the foreign ministers. There will be a need for

people return to their lands and the issue on status is discussed",
he said.
