BAKU: Bahar Muradova: "The Cooperation With Armenia Is Unrealizable"

BAHAR MURADOVA: "THE COOPERATION WITH ARMENIA IS UNREALIZABLE"

Lord Russell Johnston, a chairman of the Sub-Committee for the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council
of Europe (PACE) appraised positively the meeting with Azerbaijan and
Armenian delegation. He expressed his desire to hold such meetings
at the level of different structures of both countries.

Deputy MM Chairman and head of Azerbaijan delegation to the PA OSCE
Bahar Muradova informed that if they fail to reach a settlement
concerning the conflict, any cooperation between Azerbaijan and
Armenia will be impossible: "Azerbaijan repeatedly stated about its
position in this issue. Today a specific part of Azerbaijan’s lands
are occupied by Armenia. Armenian’s occupation policy resulted in
deprivation of over million of our citizens of their native homes and
properties. In this case, it is useless to speak of any cooperation
between Azerbaijan and Armenia."

In addition, B. Muradova thinks that any arrangements hosted
by international organizations are not harmful for our State:
"Azerbaijan is represented in powerful states worldwide. Such meetings
are also organized by their structures and we should attend their
arrangements. For instance, LINKS, a UK organization carries out a
joint project, which covers MPs of three Caucasus countries.

Thus, whether we want it or not, we have to maintain contact with
Armenians in the Parliamentary Assembly of OSCE."

According to vice-speaker, if any meeting can influence on the conflict
settlement, Azerbaijan is interested to attend them.

B. Muradova also touched upon the issue concerning the putting the
report of the PA OSCE Chairman and Rapporteur Goran Lenmarker on the
agenda: "As you know, Armenia always tries to distract international
organizations’ attention from the discussion of such issues. This
time they abide by their own principles. One of the reasons that
the report was not put to the agenda is due to both party’s attitude
towards the document. Azerbaijan as well as Armenia has also their
own position to this point. To date these positions did not change
at all. The OSCE leadership that was witness of such situation is
likely not to discuss the report yet."
