AZERBAIJAN MUST NOW START TALKS WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF BOTH
COMMUNITIES OF NK: PACE RAPPORTEUR ON NAGORNY KARABAKH

LONDON, FEBRUARY 24. ARMINFO. Azerbaijan must now start talks with
representatives of both communities of NK, PACE rapporteur on Nagorny
Karabakh David Atkinson says in response to ARMINFO’s question that
Azerbaijan has not up today expressed a desire to negotiate with the
leadership of Nagorny Karabakh.

He does not think that in any case it is a fundamental part of the
resolution.

Concerning Turkey’s blockade of Armenia Atkinson urges that country to
end its blockade as a confidence building measure.

He calls nonsense the accusations of some politicians in Armenia who
consider that his decision was dictated by political order of the
state he represents and that the accepted resolution smells of Caspian
oil.

Atkinson evades the question what he thinks about the Armenians’
approach to the Karabakh conflict settlement – Cooperation then
settlement. He just says that his motto is to urge that Resolution
1416 be implemented.
