Nagorno-Karabakh conflict's resolution to become positive factor for entire region: Azerbaijani MP

10 July 2009 [16:36] - TODAY.AZ
Russia's desire to take a more active part in changing the conflict situation in the South Caucasus has opened up good opportunities to continue a peace process, the Member of the Azerbaijani Parliament Asim Mollazadeh said.
If we can solve the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by peacefully, then it will be very positive factor for the entire region, Mollazadeh said.

The Azerbaijani public figures' recent visit to Nagorno-Karabakh and their meeting in Yerevan will not be able to replace the negotiating process and even are not called "people's diplomacy", and the mission is aimed at rapprochement in the process, Mollazade said at a news conference on July 10.

Azerbaijani and Armenian Ambassadors to Russia Polad Bul-Bul oglu and Armen Smbatian, as well as Head of Federal Agency for Culture and Cinematography Mikhail Shvydko visited the break-away Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Smbatian, Polad Bul-Bul oglu and Shvydko met with the President of the unrecognized NKR Bako Saakyan in Khankandi last week, the Armenian media reported.

A six-member Azerbaijani delegation, as well as two members of the Azerbaijani parliament Asim Mollazade and Rovshan Rzayev and composer Siyavush Karimi arrived in Khankandi.

The Azerbaijani delegation left for Armenia and met with President Serzh Sargsyan later.

"Our mission aims to support the peace process and we are confident that the peoples of the South Caucasus can live in peace, and we should seize the opportunity to advance peace in the region," said the parliamentarian.

We must act rationally and not emotionally to use our capacity for peace, Mollazade said.


The position of the Armenian lobby and the Armenians in Armenia differ. "In Armenia, I saw a willingness to sign a peace agreement which President Sargsyan said at the meeting with us," he said.
