Commenting on Azeri President Ilham Aliyev’s meeting with a group of
Armenian and Azerbaijani intellectuals, Azeri political scientist
Zardusht Alizade declared: `It’s a positive fact that the head of state
left aside the completely ineffective policy of ignoring the Armenian
society and started doing what the Azerbaijani society has been doing
for a long time, i.e. launched a dialogue with representatives of the
Armenian society.’

`It will help accelerate the resolution of the Karabakh conflict,
abolish the tension and hostility, restrict the opportunities of
various Western and Russian forces to play on the hostility between the
Armenian and Azerbaijani peoples,’ he told Novosti-Azerbaijan. In
Zardusht Alizade’s words, `at least the two peoples will be given a
small chance to better understand each other.’
