Baku, April 5, AssA-Irada
A former Abkhaz official has dismissed reports saying Armenian
representatives are attending the two-day international conference
of the International Tribunal of The Hague, which started in Baku
on Wednesday.

“The reports are false. Armenia is not interested in attending such
events due to its being an aggressor country,” said former justice
minister of the Georgian breakaway republic of Abkhazia, Paata
Davitaya, who currently leads We Ourselves, movement. He said this
is a sensitive issue, as Georgia is affected by Armenian separatism,
just like Azerbaijan.

“Armenians relinquished their intent to come to Azerbaijan due to their
experience of facing serious problems in this respect in the past.”
