Baku â€“ APA. Commissioner of the UNESCO/ITU Broadband Commission for Digital Development, chairman of the working group on UN E-Government Development, member of the Eurasia Dialogue Center Board, Ambassador Walter Fust will be on a visit to Azerbaijan from September 29 to October 5, 2012, co-founder of the Eurasia Dialogue Center, UN Young Ambassador Rovshan Muradov told APA.

Fust will hold a series of meetings with the Azerbaijani officials and visit Ganja City to attend the Nizami Ganjaviâ€™s 870th anniversary events.

It is not the commissionerâ€™s first visit to Azerbaijan. During his first visit, Ambassador Fust expressed his thoughts about the so-called â€œArmenian genocideâ€ issue. He said this issue should be researched by the historians, but not politicians. â€œWhy donâ€™t the worldâ€™s leading researchers investigate this issue? It is not correct to create artificial obstacles in the contemporary period of the development only because of historical misunderstandingsâ€.

Fust said he witnessed how Turkey saved the church and historical archives. â€œThe materials found in these archives should be translated into different languages. Let the problems to remain in the history and the intellectuals to research the historical issuesâ€.
