  • Baku: Civil Society Must Establish Dialogue Between Azerbaijani And

    CIVIL SOCIETY MUST ESTABLISH DIALOGUE BETWEEN AZERBAIJANI AND ARMENIAN COMMUNITIES OF NAGORNO-KARABAKH

    The civil society has the large work to establish a dialogue between
    the Azerbaijani and Armenian communities of Nagorno-Karabakh, member
    of "Azerbaijani Community of Nagorno-Karabakh" Public Union Rovshan
    Rzayev told Trend today.

    "We are interested in establishing a dialogue between the Azerbaijani
    and Armenian communities of Nagorno-Karabakh and must negotiate
    together," Rzayev said.

    The negotiations on the conflict settlement must be established
    proceeding from the current requirements, Rzayev said.

    "The main issue in the negotiations is to establish trust between
    the communities," he said. "We have made such an attempt in Germany,
    but the Armenians failed to attend the meeting. The main reason is
    the reluctance of the Armenian leadership to settle accounts with
    our compatriots living in the Nagorno-Karabakh."

    The stereotypes of "ethnic discrepancy" claimed by the Armenian
    leadership have been destroyed. Public support is very important. The
    issue, known internationally as the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict today,
    is an aggression against the Azerbaijani territorial integrity.

    "The first meeting between members of the Azerbaijani community of
    Nagorno-Karabakh and members of the Armenian community was perceived
    negatively," he said. "However, it became clear that the dialogue
    is important."

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
    co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France and the U.S. -
    are currently holding peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.
