    ANCA REPRESENTATIVE CONFRONTS AZERBAIJANI DIPLOMAT ON SUBJECT OF NAGORNO KARABAKH CONFLICT

    NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 12, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. ANCA Eastern
    Region Executive Director Garo Manjikian confronted Azerbaijani Deputy
    Foreign Minister Araz Azimov on the Aliyev government's track record
    of war mongering and aggression towards Nagorno-Karabakh, at an event
    hosted by the Permanent Mission of Azerbaijan to the United Nations
    and the Harriman Institute of Columbia University last week.

    Manjikian said in his speech that the Azeri government is working
    hard to portray itself as a stable, reliable and peaceful country in
    the Caucasus, while at the same time having an extensive track record
    of aggression and war mongering towards Nagorno Karabakh. Manjikian
    then cited three specific statements that President Aliyev made in the
    past two years with direct threats to take Nagorno Karabakh by force.

    A. Azimov, in his turn, said that statements coming from Azerbaijan
    are are just a reaction to Armenia and that there can only be self-rule
    of Nagorno Karabakh within Azerbaijan.

    Another participant of the event, Ambassador Ertugrul Apakan, from
    the Permanent Mission of Turkey to the United Nations expressed the
    hope that the recent rapprochement between Armenia and Turkey will
    spark positive developments between Armenia and Azerbaijan to settle
    the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
