YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 11, ARMENPRESS: 'Taking advantage of the absence
of the Armenian side, Azerbaijan used the chair of Brussels for its
goals and propaganda; however we, as stakeholders and injured party
in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, had a lot to tell not only the
European Parliament, but also the whole world,' according to Grigory
Ayvazyan, chairman of the 'Assembly of Azerbaijani-Armenians'.
He said today at a meeting with journalists that they received
an invitation from the European Parliament for partaking in
the conference; however the Embassy of Germany hindered their
participation. Discussions on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and issues
of refugees were held February 9 at the European Parliament. The
Armenian party did not manage to partake in it for not receiving a
visa in time. 'We wanted to tell the truth in Brussels.
We wanted to tell that the conflict started not in February, 1992,
but in 1988, with a decision by the Azerbaijani authorities, which
organized the massacres of more than 500 000 thousand Armenian
citizens of Azerbaijan,' Grigory Ayvazyan said. He added that he
does not have a status of refugee yet. The speaker informed that they
intend to undertake measures for spreading the information.
'The oil-dollars of Baku played the needed role and in the result of
that we did not manage to attend the conference, which actually became
a solo-concert of Azerbaijanis,' Grigory Ayvazyan said. Arman Melikyan,
former foreign minister of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, said today
at a press conference that the issue of the Armenian refugees of
Azerbaijan must be raised in not an 'amateur', but political level.
'Even if we managed to be present at the conference, it would be the
next attempt to show how poor and tortured we are,' Arman Melikyan
said. He says raising the issue in a political level implies demanding
to give the liberated territories of Artsakh to the Armenian refugees
of Azerbaijan through talks.
