State Committee on Work with Diaspora comments on meeting between "Azerros" and Armenian Diaspora in Moscow

The statement sent to APA by the State Committee’s press service says that such meetings may serve the interests of the Armenian Diaspora, who want to form public opinion that the Azerbaijani society is ready for compromises casting doubt on our country’s territorial integrity.

"It is not accidental that since early 2000 Armenian Diaspora and lobby under the pretext of "people’s diplomacy" have been putting forward initiatives to form impression that Azerbaijani society is ready for compromises. Practice shows that such initatives serve to create additional opportunities for pressure on Azerbaijan, which insists on fair solution to the conflict.

Though such intiatives of individuals, or organizations are the expression of the wish to contribute to solving the conflict, it is more expedient that professional diplomats deal with the settlement of the conflict.

The State Committee on Work with Diaspora respects patriotic feelings of every Azerbaijani wishing to contribute to solving Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict over Nagorno Karabakh, but is not sure that such meetings promise real perspectives and call on the Diaspora organizations to be more careful and attention in such initiatives," the statement says.
