“Armenian troops must leave occupied territories around Daghlig
Garabagh.” The International Crisis Group will give this commendation
to Armenian Government on September 11 in Yerevan. Alain Deletros,
Vice-President of the International Crisis Group: Armenian troops
must leave 7 occupied regions and refugees from the territories must
return to their homes. After that the status issue of Daglig Garabagh
must be discussed. And I think the negotiations will continue
15-20 years. According to Alain Deletros these recommendations
were reflected in the reports which will be released on September
14 by the Organization. One of the reports will contain the present
situation of Daglig Garabagh. The second report is about the Conflict
settlement. The Vice-President of the International Crisis Group said
that they also gave commendations to Azerbaijan Government during
their visit to Baku. The main commendation was to stop creating
among Azerbaijanis the enemy mode against Armenians and to normalize
relations between two sides. The International Crisis Group also met
with Mazahir Panahov, the Chairman of Central Election Commission.
The International Crisis Group was appealed on receiving the List
of Azerbaijan citizens of Armenian origin under the 122 Khankandi
election Constituency. But Sabina Freizer, representative of the Group
on Southern Caucasus considers that to be very difficult. We very
highly appreciate this offer. But this offer was put forward in the
last stage. The registration is over yet. The negotiations must have
been held between Khankandi residents and Azerbaijani community of
Daglig Garabagh. Sabina Freizer said that in the Report Armenian and
Azerbaijani communities of Daglig Garabagh are advised to start talks.
