Does KLO find Bul bul ogli political tool for Russia and Armenia?May 30, 2009 - 17:29 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Karabakh Liberation Organization (KLO) has released statement condemning Azeri Ambassador to RF Polad Bul bul ogli's intention to visit Nagorno Karabakh with Armenian Ambassador. KLO finds such step to be in Armenia's interests."Bul bul ogli's persistence arouses questions and concerns over the initiative's becoming political tool for Armenia and Russia," runs the statement. Referring to reliable sources, PanARMENIAN.Net reported earlier that Ambassadors Polad Bul bul ogli and Armen Smbatyan plan to visit Armenia and NKR in mid-June. Diplomats will leave for Karabakh via Armenia, previously obtaining NKR authorities' official permission. They are to meet with NKR President Bako Sahakyan in Stepanalert and then leave for Amaras and Shushi. When leaving for Baku, Ambassadors will very probably cross NKR-Azerbaijan border in a car. Bul bul ogli in turn denied rumors on his intention to visit NKR. "There are currently no concrete arrangements concerning the format and duration of the trip. As regards the route specified, it is just out of the question. Should there be a second trip, its route will be the same as it was during the first visit. That is, Azeri delegation will leave for Karabakh via Azerbaijan, and Armenian delegation will go there via their country," the Azeri diplomat said. On June 28, 2007, Armenian and Azeri intellectuals carried out a visit to Stepanakert, Yerevan and Baku upon the initiative of two countries' Ambassadors in Russia.
