(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) SHUSHA, Azerbaijan, July 21. “We have
repeatedly expressed our position on this issue and have shown
maximum constructivism,” said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev
as he addressed the Shusha Global Media Forum on“New Media in the
Era of the 4th Industrial Revolution”, trend reports.
“But, unfortunately, the junta that seized power in Karabakh and
which calls itself“presidents”,“ministers” or“deputies” is only
causing everyone to laugh. They have taken hostage those who now
live in the territory where the Russian peacekeeping contingent is
temporarily stationed.
We took the initiative, I appointed a special representative who
was supposed to deal with representatives of the Armenians of
Karabakh, and in order to establish these contacts, he was sent to
Karabakh. The first meeting took place there, in the village of
Khojaly, at the base of the Russian peacekeeping contingent. After
that, we invited representatives of the Armenians of Karabakh to
come to Baku to continue the dialogue. But they refused, and quite
defiantly.
After some time, we invited them again – perhaps there was some
kind of a mistake, it happens, a misfire – in order to find out
whether they want it or not. But there was a refusal again. And
then I said that there would be no third invitation. If they are
not interested, so be it,” the Azerbaijani President
emphasized.
