Bayram Safarov The Armenian community of Karabakh cannot have the
final say on settlement of the conflict, the leader of the Azerbaijani
community said on Tuesday.
"The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a conflict between Armenia and
Azerbaijan. Who are the separatist Armenians of Nagorno- Karabakh
that they can influence the conflict settlement?" Bayram Safarov,
head of the Azerbaijani Community of the Nagorno-Karabakh Region of
the Azerbaijan Republic, told Trend news agency.
"The world says that Nagorno-Karabakh is Azerbaijani territory.
Therefore, a fair approach is needed to peace in the resolution of
this conflict," Safarov said.
He said that the leadership of the Azerbaijani community of
Nagorno-Karabakh intended to meet the OSCE Minsk Group mediators
during their next visit.
"As far as I know, the Minsk Group co-chair from the USA visited
Khankendi and met the Armenian community leaders there," Safarov said.
However, he added that, "The Azerbaijani community has no special
issues that need discussion with the co-chairs as our president has
repeatedly declared the position of our state."
The community leader said that a meeting with the co-chairs had not
been finalized yet.
"The co-chairs have not made a serious breakthrough in the conflict
resolution so far. Will they gain anything after this?" he asked.
