YEREVAN, JUNE 29, NOYAN TAPAN. Robert Kocharian, the RA President,
received a number of Armenian and Azeri culture and science
figures on June 28, who initiated a one-day joint visit via the
Stepanakert-Yerevan-Baku route after receiving the assistance of the
Presidents of the two countries through the Ambassadors of Armenia
and Azerbaijan to the Russian Federation.
R. Kocharian welcomed their initiative and mentioned that
the establishment of communication and the formation of an
atmosphere of confidence between Armenian and Azeri societies
will be a good contribution to the issue of the Karabakh conflict
settlement. According to him, terms of cooperation should be found,
and Armenia, to all appearances, is ready to support this process.
The guests touched upon the necessity to provide communication between
Armenian and Azeri societies and the ways of its implementation
during the conversation with the RA President. Azeri intellectuals
believe that it is necessary to re-establish the former friendly and
associate interrelations between Armenian and Azeri representatives
of the old generation, as well as to envolve the young generation in
these relations.
According to the information provided to Noyan Tapan by the RA
President’s Press Office, after paying a visit to Robert Kocharian,
the group left for Baku to meet with Ilham Aliyev, the President
of Azerbaijan.
It should also be mentioned that they met with Arkadi Ghukasian,
the President of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh, before arriving
in Yerevan.
