U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian
Affairs Tina S. Kaidanow discussed the Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict
with representatives of the Azerbaijani civil society in Baku on
Oct.23.

This is Ms. Kaidanow’s first visit to Azerbaijan as Deputy Assistant
Secretary and it is more of familiarization character. Kaidanow was
interested in civil opinion on all these issues," Co-chair of the
International Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly Arzu Abdullayeva said.

Representatives of the Azerbaijani NGOs told to Kaidanow that civil
society is interested in rapid settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict, Abdullayeva said.

"We have informed Kaidanow that no one in Azerbaijan agrees with loss
of the Nagorno-Karabakh, as this is our land," Abdullayeva added.
