Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 28 / Trend E. Mehdiyev /
Armenians need to understand that they will be unable to live in
Nagorno-Karabakh for a long time supporting their present position,
chairman of the Azerbaijani community of the Nagorno-Karabakh region
public association Bayram Safarov told journalists on Friday.
The Armenian community of Nagorno-Karabakh using opportunities created
for it by Azerbaijan, must agree with the proposed status, Safarov
said.
He added that Armenians must show a serious approach to the assessment
of peace talks as soon as possible.
Armenian society is aware of the reasons obstructing peaceful
cohabitation with Azerbaijanis, as it was previously and they should
eliminate these reasons, he said.
Safarov also expressed his support to hold meetings between the
Azerbaijani and Armenian communities of Nagorno-Karabakh.
"We are always ready and willing to talk with representatives of
Armenian intellectuals and ordinary people who are concerned and think
about the future of young people and the comfortable life of the
population.
"I believe that there still are Armenians who feel sympathetic towards
the Azerbaijani people and do not forget their friendship and they
must have their say. These Armenians are ready to recognise the
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and co-residence on its territory,
but they cannot take serious steps, knowing they will be put in danger
by expressing such a position, "Safarov said.
Today, on the 21st anniversary of the Armenian occupation of
Khankendi, the members of the Azerbaijani community of the
Nagorno-Karabakh region public association, intellectuals from
Khankendi and representatives of public visited the Alley of Martyrs
in Baku.
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 the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions regarding the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
