The executive director of the London Information Network on Conflicts
and State-building, Dennis Sammut, has asked Azerbaijani Deputy
Speaker Ziyafat Asgarov to allow an Armenian delegation to attend the
forthcoming Rose-Roth seminar of NATO in Baku. Mr Asgarov said that
the event will be held and that the Azerbaijani government and the
Milli Maclis are interested in that. Dennis Sammut also said that
Azerbaijan will chair the interparliamentary initiative group of the
South Caucasus countries from 1 January 2005. The meeting also
discussed the Nagornyy Karabakh problem. Sammut said that the conflict
could not be solved by itself and added that international
organizations would inevitably have to make serious efforts.
