Baku. Tamara Grigoryeva-APA. Elin Suleymanov, Azerbaijan’s Consul
General to Los Angeles, has published a letter in the International
Herald Tribune as a protest to the editorial "Dark days for Armenia’s
democracy" published in the newspaper on March 8, APA reports.

According to Consul General, this conflict, along with other separatist
disputes in Georgia and Moldova, continue to impede development and
progress in Eurasia.

"The Azerbaijani side would much prefer to stay away from Armenia’s
domestic political crisis. The timing of the armed provocation
raises strong suspicions that the objective was to overshadow the
unfortunate events in Yerevan. Hopefully, the Armenians are able to
resolve domestic political disagreements without undermining regional
stability. Of course, the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict should be
settled peacefully and soon to the benefit of both the Azerbaijani
and Armenian people," Elin Suleymanov writes.
