The Conference of the Caucasus Intercultural Festival, which was expected to be held in the Turkish region of Kars today, has been postponed.

Azerbaijani consul in Kars Hasan Zeynalov told the APA that the postponing was caused by the conflict between Armenian folklore group and Azerbaijani folklore groups.

"Armenians behaved immorally against Azerbaijani representatives using insulting words in Armenian," the consul said.

Azerbaijani folklore group protested against Kars local authority and left Turkey yesterday.

Mr.Zeynalov said he met wit the head of the local authority. During the discussions, the local authority head said he will achieve opening of Turkey-Armenia border and make efforts for the solution of the Nagorno Garabagh conflict. The conference is due to be held tomorrow.

Kars local authority has recently stated that it will make efforts for the opening of Armenia-Turkey borders.
