Глава МИД:

Баку постоянно пытается путем шантажа прибывающих в Азербайджан европейских делегаций разрешить нагорно-карабахский конфликт в одностороннем порядке. Об этом 4 апреля на совместной пресс-конференции в Ереване с главой МИД Финляндии Эркки Туомиоя заявил министр иностранных дел Армении Эдвард Налбандян.

"Однако, данная попытка изначально обречена на провал, поскольку карабахский конфликт можно разрешить лишь путем самоопределения Нагорно-Карабахской Республики, при соблюдении резолюций ООН о неприменении силы, права народов на самоопределение и соблюдения принципов территориальной целостности. Этими действиями Азербайджан пытается пустить пыль в глаза собственного общества",- заявил министр.

При этом Налбандян отметил, что данные попытки не только не способствуют скорейшему решению нагорно-карабахского конфликта, а наоборот постоянно его тормозят. В свою очередь Туомиоя, отметил, что в ходе встречи с Налбандяном они обсудили ряд вопросов, в том числе и региональные, коснувшись Сирийского вопроса, вопроса об упрощении виз, развития экономических отношений, участия Армении в Ассоциативном соглашении с ЕС, а также ряд других актуальных на сегодняшний день вопросов.

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Today, commonspace.eu starts a new regular weekly series. THURSDAY INTERVIEW, conducted by Lauri Nikulainen, will host  persons who are thinkers, opinion shapers, and implementors in their countries and spheres. We start the series with an interview with Murad Muradov, a leading person in Azerbaijan's think tank community. He is also the first co-chair of the Action Committee for a new Armenian-Azerbaijani Dialogue. Last September he made history by being the first Azerbaijani civil society activist to visit Armenia after the 44 day war, and the start of the peace process. Speaking about this visit Murad Muradov said: "My experience was largely positive. My negative expectations luckily didn’t play out. The discussions were respectful, the panel format bringing together experts from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey was particularly valuable during the NATO Rose-Roth Seminar in Yerevan, and media coverage, while varied in tone, remained largely constructive. Some media outlets though attempted to represent me as more of a government mouthpiece than an independent expert, which was totally misleading.  Overall, I see these initiatives as important steps in rebuilding trust and normalising professional engagement. The fact that soon a larger Azerbaijani civil society visits to Armenia followed, reinforces the sense that this process is moving in the right direction."
