Our intellectuals’ visit to Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia should be met
normally, I do not accept a stir created on this visit, Samad Seyidov,
head of Azerbaijani delegation to PACE told the APA.

He reminded that the resolution of Council of Europe adopted in
January, 2005 contained items on the occupation of Azerbaijani lands
by Armenian Forces, ethnic cleaning, items regarding refugees and
IDPs as well as gave several recommendations.

"One of the recommendations says that Azerbaijani and Armenian
communities of Nagorno Karabakh should meet. Our honorable
intellectuals fulfilled one part of this work. Our intellectuals are
not to blame for exchanging views with Armenians. It is not right
to create any stir regarding it. This is one of the meetings of
Azerbaijanis living in Karabakh and Armenian community. It is not
right to show unusual reaction to this meeting," he said.
