Semneby said that his purpose was to learn public opinion on Nagorno Karabakh conflict, negotiations conducted within the framework of OSCE Minsk Group.
â€œI had meetings with IDPs. I am acquainted with their condition. This humanitarian problem has continued for a long time and it is a serious obstacle for ongoing processes in the strategic regionâ€, he said.

He noted that two matters should be especially taken into consideration during signing of an agreement related to the regulation of the conflict: â€œThese are assurance for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and return of IDPs to their homelandsâ€.

â€œChief of the Union, Head of Shusha region Executive Power Bayram Safarov noted that IDPs waited for the day when they would get back to their homelandsâ€.

Delivering speeches at the meeting the members of the union offered Semneby to invite the delegation to the EU for discussions. Semneby met the offer positively.
