/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The initiative of the Armenian and Azerbaijani
Ambassadors to Russia, Armen Smbatian and Polad Bul-Bul-ogly is
positive and timely, RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said
in Yerevan, when commenting to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter on the
visit of Armenian and Azeri intelligentsia to Stepanakert, Yerevan
and Baku. "This visit may become a basis for establishment of trust
between the peoples. Armen Smbatian estimated highly the meeting with
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev," Minister Oskanian said.
"The OSCE Minsk Group has no connection with the organization of the
visit. During the Saint Petersburg meeting the Ambassadors proposed
Robert Kocharian and Ilham Aliyev to arrange a Stepanakert-Yerevan-Baku
trip of intelligentsia, and the proposal was accepted," he said.
June 28 representatives of the Armenian and Azeri intelligentsia
visited Stepanakert, Yerevan and Baku on the initiative of the RA
and Azerbaijani Ambassadors to Russia.
