The Conference of the Caucasus Intercultural Festival,
which was expected to be held in the Turkish region of
Kars today, has been postponed.
Azerbaijani consul in Kars Hasan Zeynalov told the APA
that the postponing was caused by the conflict between
Armenian folklore group and Azerbaijani folklore
groups.
`Armenians behaved immorally against Azerbaijani
representatives using insulting words in Armenian,’
the consul said.
Azerbaijani folklore group protested against Kars
local authority and left Turkey yesterday.
Mr.Zeynalov said he met wit the head of the local
authority. During the discussions, the local authority
head said he will achieve opening of Turkey-Armenia
border and make efforts for the solution of the
Nagorno Garabagh conflict. The conference is due to be
held tomorrow.
Kars local authority has recently stated that it will
make efforts for the opening of Armenia-Turkey
borders./APA/
