â€œLevon Ter-Petrosyan was dismissed form post, because he agreed with the settlement of the conflict in stages. Robert Kocharyan who had direct participation in Khojali tragedy came to the post and it made the talks unproductive,â€? he said.
He also stated that the number Azerbaijanis living in Nagorno Garabagh was reduced by Armenians higher officials during USSR.
â€œThe number of Azerbaijanis living in Khankendi was reduced two times. Armenians falsified the results of census in villages where Azerbaijanis were densely populated. The number of Armenians living in Nagorno Garabagh is not more than 80.000. And this is equal to the number of Azerbaijanis,â€? Behmanov said.
He stated about unproductive talks held by OSCE Minsk Group.
â€œThey speak about Armenianâ€™s rights instead of to focus attention on occupation fact. None of international experts monitored Shusha, Aghdam, Fuzuli, Khojali, Kerkijahan region sufficiently. It shows the inactivity of the organizations solving this conflict,â€? he said. /APA/
