After return of the Armenian-occupied territories of Azerbaijan and
the displaced persons' comeback to their native land, the Armenians
of Nagorno-Karabakh will become full-fledged citizens of Azerbaijan,
chairman of the Azerbaijani State Committee for Work with Diaspora
Nazim Ibrahimov has said.
At a press conference on the results of a high-level meeting of the
Nizami Ganjavi International Center and the Club of Madrid, Ibrahimov
said that for this to be possible, first of all, the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict must be resolved.
"We are witnessing the creation in Azerbaijan of a society which many
countries would like to create," the Committee head said.
According to Ibrahimov, along with other issues, political conflicts,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh dispute, were discussed in the framework
of the mentioned meeting.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict emerged in 1988 when Armenia made
territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since a lengthy war in the early
1990s that displaced over one million Azerbaijanis, Armenian armed
forces have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally
recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent
regions.
"Azerbaijan is ready to grant Nagorno-Karabakh the highest level of
autonomy that exists in the world. This even caused a surprise of the
guests who gathered at the event. What else can the Armenians expect?"
Ibrahimov said.
The Nizami Ganjavi International Center (NGIC) and the Club de
Madrid have held a High Level Preparatory Meeting for the "Shared
Societies Forum 2014", which will take place in Baku next year. The
event, supported by the State Committee for Work with Diaspora, is
attended by former heads of state and government of Latvia, Finland,
the Netherlands, Sri Lanka and officials of influential international
organizations.
The two-day meeting debated preparations for the forthcoming Forum
and also discussed settlement of the conflicts in the South Caucasus,
close involvement of women in social life, intercultural and interfaith
dialogue, and other issues.
