The French Institute for International Relations (IFRI) hosted a
conference titled "The Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict:
Position of the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh," the
Azerbaijani embassy in France told Trend on Tuesday.
The event was organized at the embassy's initiative and support. It was
dedicated to the 19th anniversary of Shusha's occupation by Armenian
Armed Forces. The event aimed at bringing the Azerbaijani position
to the academic and political circles of France.
Native of Shusha and Budapest Central European University's student
Tabib Huseynov spoke at the event, attended by local and foreign
political scientists, researchers, representatives of the Foreign
Ministry, the French Parliament and the diplomatic corps accredited in
Paris. He informed the participants about a difficult situation around
settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict due
to Armenia's destructive position during negotiations; he spoke about
challenges that the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh face,
problems before the settlement process and mentioned ways to address
these issues.
Following his speech, Huseynov answered numerous questions from the
audience, including representatives of the Armenian diaspora in France.
Azerbaijani Ambassador to France Elchin Amirbekov expressed his
gratitude to the IFRI leadership for being open to cooperation.
He stressed that the provision of the platform for the representatives
of the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh, which, according
to the mandate of the OSCE Minsk Conference is one of the parties
interested in the conflict, is a serious blow to attempts by Armenian
authorities and the diaspora to mislead the international, and
particularly the French, public. They deliberately distort facts,
nature, history and the current state of the Armenian-Azerbaijani
conflict. The conflict resolution is impossible without the fundamental
interests of the 65,000-Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh
region and without a safe, full and unhindered returning of Azerbaijani
refugees and IDPs to their homes in Shusha and other Azerbaijani
villages of Nagorno-Karabakh.
Deputy Director of the Institute Philippe Moreau-Defarge expressed
his deep gratitude to Azerbaijan for the well made presentation and
detailed answers. He expressed hope that such communication with the
Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh will be continued.
