Arminfo-Turan. The results of yesterday's visit to Yerevan, the
delegation of Caucasus Muslims Department (CMD), were told to
reporters, not by the head of CMD, Sheikh Allashukur Pashazade,
the head of the delegation, but by his deputy, Sabir Hasanli.
Without explaining the reason why Pashazade did not appear before the
reporters, he said that the trip took place within the timeframe of
meeting of the CIS Inter-Religious Council. The religious leaders of
Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan met also with the Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan. Hasanli confirmed that the joint statement of spiritual
leaders calls withdrawal of snipers from the front line.
"However, in his speech Sheikh brought up the problem on the
implementation of four UN Security Council resolutions," said Hasanli.
According to him, it was offered that the spiritual leaders visit parts
of the front line. Hasanli said vaguely, that the Armenians should
be softer in the Karabakh issue, but "the third and fourth forces" do
not allow them to do it. However, Hasanli did not specify details. At
a meeting with Sargsyan, the issue on protection of material culture
objects was brought up. Referring to criticism of some media and NGOs
due to this trip, Hasanli said "it serves peace."
Then he said Armenia is beyond major regional projects, it affects
the level of the people's lives, "Yerevan appears as it was during
Soviet times. There is no construction in the city," said Hasanli.
