Baku. Lachin Sultanova-APA. "Recent statements by president Serzh
Sargsyan on self-determination of the population of Nagorno Karabakh
are not serious.

The manifestation of such a position is an open demonstration of
unwillingness to early settlement of the conflict", said Chairman of
the Public Union "Azerbaijani community of Nagorno Karabakh" Bayram
Safarov in his interview to the website of New Azerbaijan Party,
APA reports.

Safarov noted that the opinion of the Azerbaijani community on
determination the Nagorno Karabakh status should be taken into
consideration as well: "This is not only a position of Azerbaijani
side, but also the position of OSCE Minsk Group. The co-chairs have
spoken about it several times".

To the community chairman, despite these statements by Armenian
president, Armenians residing in Nagorno-Karabakh want to remain
within Azerbaijan: "The accelerated development of Azerbaijan is
clear to the entire world. Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh are living
in poor conditions. So simple Armenians want to stay and live within
Azerbaijan.

Bayram Safarov said that Armenia should seriously think about the
solution to the conflict: "Azerbaijan has strong army that is ready
to liberate the occupied territories".
