A weekly talk show programme "Aciq sohbet" (Open Talk) on private
Azerbaijani ANS TV channel discussed Nagornyy Karabakh conflict
between Azerbaijan and Armenia in its 20 April edition.
Prominent talk show host Sevinc Osmanqizi questioned whether engaging
in dialogue with Armenians and attending international events held
in that country serves Azerbaijan's interests.
The guest of the programme, chairman of the Azerbaijani Karabakh
Liberation Organization Akif Nagi said it was to the detriment of
Azerbaijan to negotiate with Armenians since Armenia is seeking "to
cover the crimes they have committed" and create an image that there
is no problem between the two countries. He said Armenia's goal was
to make "Azerbaijani society to gradually forget about the occupation
of its territories". Akif Nagi also slammed Azerbaijan's participation
at international events held in Armenia.
Another quest of the talk show, chairman of National Revival Movement
Party (Milli Dircalis Harakati Partiyasi) MP Farac Quliyev said
Azerbaijan should not cooperate with Armenia in any way but needs to
attend the international organizations held in that country in order to
raise the issue of Nagornyy Karabakh and seek the adoption of documents
backing Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. In response to the comment,
Akif Nagi disagreed, saying that the adoption of documents on Nagornyy
Karabakh conflict was useless, since the four UN resolutions on the
withdrawal of the Armenian troops from Azerbaijani territories has
not been implemented.
The guests also spoke about Russia's "pro-Armenian" stance on Karabakh
conflict. MP Faracov slammed Russia for backing Armenia and said "no
one will be able to force Azerbaijan to make concession to Armenia".
