Asim Mollazadeh: Armenians and Azeris should treat each other with more patience
Nobody will benefit from hostilities between Armenians and Azeris, Assim Molladzeh, Head of Azerbaijan's Democratic Reforms Party said, as reported by a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent from Stepanakert.

Armenian and Azeri Ambassadors to Russia Armen Smbatyan and Polad Byul-Byul Ogly, as well as Head of Federal Agency on Culture Mikhail Shvidka have today visited NKR to meet with President Bako Sahakyan.

"Such meetings are important for creating at least minimum trust between South Caucasian peoples. We must strive for stability in South Caucasus to the benefit of all peoples and the region. Our party finds that frequent meetings of non-formal character will facilitate contacts between two countries' parliaments. That's the reason I was represented in a delegation which arrived in Stepanakert," Molladzeh stated.

Disapproving the policy creating enemy image, Azeri parliamentarian stressed the importance of treating each other with more patience "to achieve the solution of existing problems". "I hope, our regular visit will produce more results," he said.

Armenian-Azerbaijani delegation left Stepanakert for Yerevan where it is currently having a meeting with RA President Serzh Sargsyan.

Armenian and Azeri intellectuals carried out their first visit to Stepanakert on June 28, 2007 upon the initiative of Armenian and Azeri Ambassadors Armen Smbatyan and Polad Byul-Byul Ogly.
