ArmInfo. Ambassador of Azerbaijan to Russia Polad Bulbul Oglu thinks
that the trip of representatives of the Azerbaijani and Armenian
intellectuals, headed by the two countries’ ambassadors to Russia,
carried out to Stepanakert, Baku and Yerevan on June 28, 2007, had
no political purposes.

"After a great interval, an attempt was made to create an atmosphere
for a dialogue between the Azerbaijani and Armenian communities of
Nagorno Karabakh. I would like to note that this trip was positively
assessed by the leading political forces of the world. I think that
the meetings of intellectuals with the two countries’ presidents Ilham
Aliyev and Robert Kocharyan attached great importance to this trip and
gave a chance to continue the meetings in this format", P. Bulbul Oglu
said, commenting on the statement of RA Ambassador to Russia Armen
Smbatyan on possibility of continuing the meetings in such a format.

The Ambassador added that the Karabakh conflict peaceful settlement
based on the standards and principles of the International Law is
carried out within the frames of OSCE Minsk Group. The diplomat
also said that, though no sufficient results have been achieved,
the Azerbaijani party remains adherent to the peaceful negotiations
and keeps making constructive efforts for prompt settlement of the
conflict within the frames of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity,
