PanARMENIAN.Net – Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia commented on the
statement of Azeri officials on the so-called Artsakh Azerbaijani
community and attempts to position it on the same level with NKR
residents.

“If genuinely interested in establishment of a dialogue, the official
Baku must take steps to organize an intercommunity dialogue with
thousands of Armenian refugees of Azerbaijan, to gain a moral right
for addressing NKR authorities with a similar request,” Shavarsh
Kocharyan said.

“Armenian side believes several components are necessary to create
an atmosphere of trust between the conflicting parties. Here belong:
abandonment of military rhetoric, non-destruction of cultural heritage,
observation of ceasefire, promotion of dialogue between the countries’
civil societies. Baku, however, takes a selective approach to the
problem, distorting the reality in pursuit of its goals,” the official
stressed.
