Aliyev Boycotts CIS Unofficial Meeting

Aliyev Boycotts CIS Unofficial Meeting

14:54 – 08.05.10

Ruling Azerbaijani party Yeni Azerbaijan highly appreciates President
Ilham Aliyev’s decision not to attend an unofficial meeting of the
leaders of Commonwealth of Independent States to be held on May 8.

According to the Deputy Chairman of Yeni Azerbaijan Ali Ahmedov the
reason is that Armenia is being ruled by people who participated in
the `occupation of Shushi.’

In his words this decision by Aliyev is a clear message for Armenia
that establishement of relations with Armenia is out of the question
unless it returns the `occupied’ territories to Azerbaijan.
