Representatives of the Armenian and Azeri diasporas in Russia have
agreed to team up to promote reconciliation between Armenia and
Azerbaijan, locked in a long-standing territorial dispute over
Nagorno-Karabakh, according to the radio Voice of Russia.
At a roundtable in Moscow this week, they decided to form a permanent
joint committee to deal with conflict situations in Russia.
President of the Union of Russian Armenians and UNESCO goodwill
ambassador Ara Abrahamyan was quoted as saying: “We are, all of us,
citizens of Russia. We have nothing to share or dispute here. We should
set an example for, send a reconciliation message to our historical
homelands – Armenia and Azerbaijan”.
