Armenia-Azerbaijan Relations
ALIEV REPEATING HIS OLD STORY ALREADY LEARNT BY HEART
On a press conference in Baku French Co-Chair of the
OSCE Minsk Group stated that a number of conditions
must be provided before Azeri refugees can return to
Karabakh. "Trend" agency reports that one of the
conditions is establishment of Azerbaijani
administrative representation on the "occupied"
territories. Mr. Fassier rued that there is a problem
of persuading Armenians and Azeris to live side by
side in peace.
Meanwhile the Minsk Group Representative is perhaps
trying to impose the idea of peace and neighborhood
upon the two peoples, Azerbaijani head of state is
doing everything to lay all those efforts in vain. On
the first forum of Turkish and Azeri Diaspora
organizations, Ilham Aliev said that Armenia must
change its policy, set free the occupied Azerbaijani
lands of Karabakh and resign its claim for recognizing
the Armenian Genocide.
Aliev also declared that meeting these requirements
will benefit Armenia itself first of all. Turkish
Prime Minister erdogan, who also was [resent to the
meeting said that the Karabakh problem is a bleeding
wound of Turkey. It is reported that the whole meeting
in general was devoted to Armenia, the Armenians and
their relations with Turkey and Azerbaijan, as one
could think that the Turkish peoples have always had
their only problem with the Armenians.
