Deputy Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan answered the question of Armenpress
news agency
Question: Mr. Kocharyan, please comment on the attempts of the
Azerbaijani officials to launch intercommunity dialogue in order to
place the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh and the population
of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic at equal levels.
Answer: If official Baku is interested in an intercommunity dialogue,
it must first take steps toward organizing an intercommunity dialogue
between hundreds of thousands of Armenians displaced from Azerbaijan
and the Azerbaijanis living in Azerbaijan. That would grant the
Azerbaijani authorities the moral right to address to the NKR
authorities to initiate an intercommunity dialogue.
The Armenian sides attach importance to confidence building measures,
which is a package comprising a number of components. These components
are rejection of state propaganda of hatred and hostility between
peoples and militaristic rhetoric, preservation rather than
destruction of the historical and cultural heritage of their
neighbors, observance of the ceasefire, withdrawal of snipers,
cooperation in different spheres, as well as contagions and dialogue
between the publics.
Azerbaijan has a selective approach to the existing problems, singling
out the components which favor it and distorting the essence of the
problem in prejudice of confidence building necessary for a
comprehensive settlement, and the settlement process itself. It is
evidence to selective and distorted interpretation of the principles
of Madrid, which led to the failure of the proposals of Madrid due to
the efforts of the Azerbaijani government.
