Azerbaijan, Baku / Trend corr. A.Ismaylova / Novruz Mammadov,
the head of the Department of the Azerbaijani Executive President
Administration on Foreign Relations, stated on 16 July that the joint
visit by intellectuals has demonstrated that Azerbaijani and Armenian
communities can live together once again.

Mammadov noted that participating in this mission demonstrates that
Azerbaijan expresses this wish. "This is a necessary process. There
were similar cases in history and we can live together again.

Armenians of Nagorno-Karabakh can live in Azerbaijan, as its citizens,"
Mammadov said. Azerbaijan has demonstrated that it is doing everything
possible for a peaceful settlement of the conflict.

Touching upon the activities of the co-chairman of Minsk Group,
Mammadov noted that the group should resolve the Armenia-Azerbaijan
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict within the framework of territorial
integrity of Azerbaijan. Commenting the position of the co-chairman,
Mammadov added that the Minsk Group is necessary for OSCE to give
legal status to the regulation of the conflict. "The issue is all
about fair status," Mammadov said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
