Community head calls for continuation of negotiation between Azerbaijan, Armenian communities

By Sara Rajabova

Head of the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh, Bayram Safarov says negotiations between Azerbaijan and Armenia communities on the Negrono-Karabakh should continue.

Savarov also vowed that the Azerbaijani flag would wave in Shusha and all over the occupied territories, adding:" as Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has said repeatedly, Azerbaijan will not give anybody an inch of its land. This means that a second Armenian cannot be created in the Azerbaijan territory."

Safarov said parallel negotiations should be held at different levels.

Earlier, he blamed the Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan for disruption of talks between Azerbaijani and Armenian communities.

He said that President Sargsyan and his confidants are well aware that if the Azerbaijani community meets with Karabakh Armenians, there would be no room for them anymore.

Since a lengthy war in the early 1990s, Armenian armed forces have occupied over 20 percent of Azerbaijan's internationally recognized territory, including Nagorno-Karabakh and seven adjacent regions.

As a result of the Armenian occupation, every 8th person in Azerbaijan has been compelled to leave their homes and live as a refugee and internally displaced person (IDP). Over one million refugees and IDPs cannot return to their ancestral lands because of the delay in the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

Long-standing efforts by the US, Russian, and French mediators have been largely fruitless so far.

Armenia's military aggression has affected the lives of over 20,000 Azerbaijanis with 4,866 are reported missing, almost 100,000 injured, and 50,000 disabled.
