/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The Armenian side adheres to a destructive
position and tries, however in vain, to reduce the Karabakh issue
to the beginning of 1990-ies when the Armenian standpoint on the
settlement process used to prevail," said Tahir Taghizade, the head
of the department of press and information policy at the Azeri Foreign
Ministry when commenting on the contest on the best monument model to
Shushu liberation initiated by the Yerevan City Administration. "I
am hopeful that the Armenian leadership will not take such a move
taking into account the progress in the peaceful process," reports
Novosti-Azerbaijan.
The 15th anniversary of liberation of Shushi – one of the cultural,
educational and spiritual centers of Armenianhood of the 19th century –
is marked in 2007.
In this view, the Yerevan City Administration has announced an open
contest for a monument model symbolizing the liberation of Shushi
town (Karabakh) during the war with Azerbaijan. The memorial should
symbolize the liberation struggle of the Armenian people in Artsakh.
