YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 17, ARMENPRESS: Special representative of the Russian
President on inter-cultural cooperation issues, ambassador on special
assignments Mikhail Shwidkoy is planning to continue mediation in
the organization of the meetings of the Armenians and Azerbaijanis
in different formats.
In an interview to Armenpress M. Shwidkoy said that together with
his colleagues he will continue working in that direction: the next
meetings will gather together businessmen and NGOs from Armenia
and Azerbaijan.
Two meetings of the Armenian and Azerbaijani intellectuals, visits
to Yerevan, Baku and Stepanakert were organized by M. Shwidkoy,
and Armenian and Russian ambassadors to Russia. Parliamentarians and
heads of mass media also met in Moscow.
"It is difficult to say when the next meeting will take place but it
is necessary to continue the work. Each such meeting must be though
a small, but a step forward toward the mutual understanding of the
publics. This process does not replace the political negotiations
which are held by the presidents and once in a quarter such meeting
will be organized," he said.
According to him, such meetings are important as they give certain
impulse to the publics in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh.
