The head of the public and political department at the presidential
administration, Ali Hasanov, has commented on the radical steps by the
KLO (Karabakh Liberation Organization) against the arrival of Armenian
military officers in Baku within the framework of NATO’s Partnership
for Peace programme.
He said that any protest actions should be held within civilized
norms. The protest against the Armenians’ arrival should not have
involved the smashing of the hotel doors and windows and storming of
the conference room. The official said that the public stance on this
issue was understandable, adding that however, radical steps were
unacceptable. Hasanov stressed that the Azerbaijanis were cultured
people and said that international legal norms should in no way be
violated.
