/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “The stand of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Culture
is simple. Azerbaijan has never participated and will not participate
in the joint creative and cultural projects, in which Armenian
representatives are engaged”, Azerbaijani Minister of Culture Polad
Bul-bul oglu stated in his interview with Caucasian Knot when
commenting on the recent proposal of German conductor Uwe Berkhemer
on formation of a Transcaucasian chamber orchestra. In the Minister’s
words, he has sent the German director a letter explaining the
reasons of Azerbaijan’s refusal. “We were many times offered
cooperation with Armenia both within the CIS and other international
organizations. However our position is fundamental”, the Azeri
Minister of Culture said.
