YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 22, ARMENPRESS: The meeting of the task group
consisting of Armenian and Azerbaijani intellectuals will take place
February 22 after a four-year pause. The information was written by
the special representative of the Russian president on international
cultural cooperation affairs Mikhail Shvidkoy in the "Second Attempt"
article in Rossiyskaya gazetta newspaper.
"Of course during this period meetings on different levels have been
conducted, starting from the meetings of presidents, and ending with
the meetings of athletes of the two countries within the framework of
different international championships in Baku and Yerevan," Shvidkoy
pointed out.
In his words the four-year pause was not accidental. "Though the
meetings on diplomatic levels were not interrupted for a long time,
this humanitarian dialogue initiated by the ambassadors of Armenia
and Azerbaijan to Russia Armen Smbatyan and Polad Bulbuloglu failed
to continue for different reasons - starting from personal, ending
with orders from above," Shvidkoy said.
He said during such meetings intellectuals of the two countries learn
to speak with each other, at the same time understanding that they
are not speaking about the solution of complicated Nagorno Karabakh
issue but creation of an atmosphere as a result of which the two
neighbors will try to listen to each other.
He voiced hope that in near future it will be possible to reach
implementation of the goal.
