    MEETING WITH ARMENIANS IN KHANKANDI POSSIBLE ONCE SECURITY IS ENSURED - MP

    Azerbaijani and Armenian communities of Karabakh may meet in Khankandi
    once security is provided.

    The statement came from head of the human rights committee of the
    Azerbaijani parliament Rabiyyat Aslanova.

    Vice-Speaker of the Azerbaijani parliament Bahar Muradova recently
    came up with an initiative to organize a meeting between Azerbaijani
    and Armenian communities of Karabakh.

    In its turn, the break-away Karabakh responded that the meeting my
    take place in Khankandi.

    Saying that she was not against Khankandi as a venue for the meeting,
    Aslanova recalled that first and foremost, Khankandi is a land of
    Azerbaijan.

    "We should not worry that we cannot go to Khankandi. This is my
    motherland and I have a right to go there. There is a need for this
    meeting. In any case, whatever the name is, there is a great need
    for meeting between the two communities. We should also listen to
    the opposite side. I mean Armenians living in Karabakh, land of
    Azerbaijan. They still hold Azerbaijani citizenship. Today some
    Armenians even dream of a dual citizenship."

    Aslanova also commented on the fact that Armenians carrying passports
    issued by Azerbaijan commit misdeeds in various countries across the
    world thus shaping a bad image for Azerbaijan.

    'They are well aware of the final result and therefore do not
    renounce Azerbaijani citizenship. They know very well that the
    Azerbaijani citizenship will be vital for them once the conflict is
    settled peacefully. That is why they still hold the passports issued
    in Soviet times,' the MP added.

    It should be made clear for the Armenian community of Nagorno-Karabakh
    that Azerbaijan focuses on post-war reconstruction work, but not
    future prospects of a war, the MP noted.

    "In this context, some forces should not accuse Azerbaijan of military
    rhetoric and being aggressive because we assume the great mission of
    reconstruction and rapprochement. We think about tomorrow and believe
    that the issue will be solved peacefully. We are ready to reconstruct
    and conduct mine clearance in these areas and for many other similar
    actions. The community should know this."
