Turan news agency, Baku

The Azerbaijani National Committee of the Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly
has denied that its chairperson has recognized Karabakh as a side in
the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, Turan reported on 2 August.
Turan news agency quoted the committee’s press release as saying that
“some mass media circulated the “inaccurate” reports about this
visit. In particular, a number of mass media outlets reported that
[chairperson of the Azerbaijani National Committee of the Helsinki
Citizens’ Assembly, Arzu] Abdullayeva allegedly stated that it is
necessary to recognize Nagornyy Karabakh as a side in the conflict”.
A delegation led by Abdullayeva visited Armenia and Karabakh on 25-31
July. Members of the delegation attended the international conference
on hostages and missing people in Xankandi [Stepanakert] and
monitored Susa prison where Azerbaijani prisoners are presumably
being held, Turan reported.
