INTERNATIONAL CRISIS GROUP DOCUMENT FITS INTERESTS OF ARMENIANS
International Crisis Group (ICG), a European non-governmental organization, recently hosted a closed forum in the Georgian capital of Tbilisi to bring together Azerbaijani and Armenian experts to discuss issues of settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Member of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis (parliament) Gultakin Hajiyeva, who attended the forum, stated, "Having got acquainted with the document draft, it is clear to me it more fits the interests of Armenians. That is why the Azerbaijani delegation voiced its discontent," she said. "The document did not reflect the fact of the occupation and tended to legalize the existing Karabakh regime. Also, the document contained the dangerous proposal to conduct a referendum, so the document should be seriously considered and reviewed," the Azeri MP said, the Yerkir newspaper.
