Head of the State Committee for Azerbaijanis Living Abroad Nazim Ibrahimov held press conference today on the conclusions of the World Azerbaijanis Intellectuals' Forum.

Mr.Ibrahimov said plan of measures is being worked on to manage the Diaspora work from the united center. The committee chief said talks are being held with Jews, who lived in Azerbaijan, regarding the establishment of the Diaspora activity.

Ibrahimov also noted that some circles are concerned about the Azerbaijani government's insistence to establish high level of Diaspora activity saying that they engage in separatism against Azerbaijan and Azerbaijanis.

"These circles use foreign media outlets, which are claimed to be owned by Azerbaijanis. Those financing these media outlets engage in separatism under the pretext of Diaspora activity in fact," Ibrahimov said.

Commenting on the recent arguments on Mahmoudali Chohraganlis' deportation from Azerbaijan, the committee chief said Chohraganli's leaving Azerbaijan was a right step noting that Azerbaijan does not interfere in the happenings between Iranian Azerbaijanis and the Iranian government, APA reports.
