Moscow â€“ APA. â€œAll are aware of Karabakh problem, one must not forget the bloody pages of our history. The young generation will solve this problem. Before I was appointed as ambassador, I thought this problem could be solved only in a military way. But there is a notion of â€œpublic diplomacyâ€. I visited Nagorno Karabakh. It was not so easy for me to see my house in Karabakh. But I understood that we can achieve something only through this way,â€ Azerbaijani ambassador to Russia Polad Bulbuloglu said addressing the forum entitled â€œCIS youth â€“ future of public diplomacyâ€ in Moscow, APA reports quoting vesti.az.

He said he can not forget the day when the symphony orchestra of the CIS countries performed in Baku and Yerevan.
â€œIn the past 20 years Azerbaijani musicians have not performed in Yerevan, Armenian musicians in Baku. The parents of musicians were anxious when idea appeared to organize these concerts. Then my colleague Armen Smbatyan and I visited Baku and Yerevan, we were a kind of guarantor of security of our youth. For the first time young Armenian musicians saw Baku boulevard, Azerbaijani musicians were surprised when they were positively met in Yerevan markets. But this is not important, what is important is that they could listen to each other, realize the essence of the conflict,â€ he said.

Polad Bulbuloglu said the visit of intellectuals to Karabakh and Yerevan caused protests in Baku.
â€œI know that our visits to Karabakh and Yerevan caused protests in Baku. But we will continue this work, so that our young generation can solve the Nagorno Karabakh problem,â€ he said.
