Safar Abiyev "Safar Abiyev is the Minister of Defense and we are
soldiers.
We will fulfill all instructions connected with the liberation of
the occupied territories.
If decision on fighting is passed, then people will fight. But in any
case this conflict must have an end," Chairman of the Public Union
"Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh" Bayram Safarov said while
expressing his view on Defense Minister Safar Abiyev’s statement on
the liberation of the occupied territories by military way.
Safarov noted that the limit of negotiations on the peaceful solution
to the conflict hadn’t come to an end and underlined that he was
against the participation of communities in the negotiations.
"It is a war between republics. War is in the format of
Azerbaijan-Armenia Nagorno Karabakh. Community can’t do the work of
the state. It can only be engaged in holding social negotiations and
returning of the people to their native lands," he said.
As regards the opportunities of peaceful living of Azerbaijani and
Armenian communities in Nagorno Karabakh, in case the conflict is
solved peacefully, Safarov said that any person living in Nagorno
Karabakh and having identity card of Azerbaijan Republic is considered
the citizen of Azerbaijan.
"These citizens also have the right to live respecting Azerbaijani
laws like other ethnic minorities in Azerbaijan. We are a democratic
state," he said.
