The Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh has outlined its position
on resolution of the conflict at a leading French think-tank.
Members of the community addressed a conference entitled "The
settlement of Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict: the
vision of the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh" at the French
Institute for International Relations (IFRI) on 9 May.
The event, organized by the Azerbaijani embassy in France, was
dedicated to the 19th anniversary of the occupation of Shusha by
Armenian armed forces and designed to present to academic and political
circles in the French capital the position of the Azerbaijani community
of Nagorno-Karabakh on resolution of the conflict.
Tabib Huseynov, a native of Shusha and holder of a Master's Degree in
International Relations and European Studies from the Budapest-based
Central European University, elaborated on the difficult situation
in settling the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh
caused by the destructive position taken by Armenia in negotiations.
He shared his personal vision and the vision of the 65,000-strong
Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh on the challenges facing the
settlement process. He talked about ways to address the challenges
through the prism of the priorities of the Azerbaijani population
who were expelled from this integral part of Azerbaijan through
ethnic cleansing.
Azerbaijan's ambassador to France, Elchin Amirbayov, thanked the IFRI
leadership for their openness to cooperation.
The envoy said no settlement of the conflict would be possible
which did not take account of the fundamental interests of the
Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh and without their safe,
full and unhindered return to their homes in Shusha and Azerbaijani
villages in Nagorno-Karabakh.
IFRI Deputy Director Philip Moreau Defarges hoped that contacts with
the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh would be continued
in future.
The conference was attended by local and foreign political scientists
and researchers, representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
the French Parliament and diplomatic corps accredited in Paris.
