Bayram Safarov Azerbaijan to hold talks on Karabakh conflict
settlement with Armenia, head of the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno
Karabakh Bayram Safarov.
'Karabakh Armenians are the citizens of Azerbaijan. What can the
Azerbaijani state negotiate on with their citizens? Azerbaijani lands
are occupied by Armenia, therefore, talks must continue between Baku
and Yerevan', said Safarov commenting to Interfax about the leader of
Nagorno Karabakh separatists Bako Saakyan about the need for
separatists' participation in talks between Baku and Yerevan.
"Karabakh Armenians who constitute 30,000-40,000 people are the same
community as Karabakh Azerbaijanis. If the Armenian community of
Karabakh was wiser, it could have enjoyed the development level of
Azerbaijan", he said.
Commenting on Saakyan's words "about impossibility of further return
of Karabakh to Azerbaijan", Safarov said Karabakh is the Azerbaijani
land. "Azerbaijan cannot grant a part of its lands to another state",
he said.
