The 'Stone Dreams' novel will cause even more upset for the Azerbaijani
people and the national and state interests of Azerbaijan in the
future, Head of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration's Social
and Political Department Ali Hasanov said.
He was commenting on the translation of Akram Aylisli's novel into
Armenian and the staging of it in that country.
"All subsequent generations in Azerbaijan will suffer the consequences
of this disgusting work. In each period the Armenian state with
its ideological structures and the Armenian Diaspora will use Akram
Naibov's anti-Azerbaijani position against us. We should be ready to
respond to this with real facts," Hasanov said.
The scandalous novel 'Stone Dreams' by Akram Aylisli (Naibov), which
distorts the historical facts, was published in the Armenian language
in Armenia.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict emerged in 1988 when Armenia made
territorial claims against the neighboring country. Since a lengthy
war between the two South Caucasus countries that displaced over
a million Azerbaijanis and ended with the signing of a precarious
cease-fire in 1994, Armenian armed forces have occupied over 20 percent
of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including the
Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Peace talks brokered by Minsk Group co-chairs representing the United
States, Russia and France have been largely fruitless so far.
The negotiations are underway on the basis of a peace outline proposed
by the Minsk Group co-chairs and dubbed the Madrid Principles, also
known as Basic Principles. The document envisions a return of the
territories surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijani control;
determining the final legal status of Nagorno-Karabakh; a corridor
linking Armenia to the region; and the right of all internally
displaced persons to return home.
