the People’s Front of Azerbaijan Party, Ali Karimli, independent
political scientists Nazim Imanov and Tamerlan Qarayev, and MPs Samad
Seyidov and Anar Mammadxanli at the US embassy at 1000 [0600
gmt]. They mainly discussed two issues – the Karabakh conflict and the
post-election situation in the country.
Nazim Imanov, Tamerlan Qarayev, Samad Seyidov and Anar Mammadxanli
expressed their concern over recent reports coming from
Armenia. Qarayev told ANS that Armitage had expressed a negative
attitude to the idea of the Armenian and the so-called Karabakh
parliaments to annex the occupied territory to Armenia. Armitage said
that such a decision would create serious problems to the settlement
of the conflict.
