Talks between Azerbaijani and Armenian communities of Nagorno-Karabakh must be held at neutral territory: Azerbaijani public figure

"We think that the talks between communities must be held at a neutral territory but not in Nagorno-Karabakh. Georgia is the best place for it," Badalbeyli told media on Oct. 6.

Today U.S, French and Russian co-chairmen of OSCE Minsk Group met with head of Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh Bayram Safarov within the visit to Baku.

Armenian and Azerbaijani public figures visited Khankandi, Yerevan and Baku on June 28, 2007 upon the initiative of Azerbaijani and Armenian ambassadors to the Russian Federation - Polad Bulbuloglu and Armen Smbatyan.

Azerbaijani delegation included five public figures including country's ambassador to Russia.

Azerbaijani public figures' second visit to Nagorno-Karabakh took place in summer 2009.

"Previously, co-chairs were not interested whether we want to return to our lands. Now we are pleased that this issue was finally raised. We would like to live at our lands but we need guarantees of security," native of Shusha Farhad Badalbeyli said.

"We were glad to meet with Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh. It is very important that they expressed readiness to live together with Armenian community," French co-chairman Bernard Fassier said after the meeting with representatives of the Azerbaijani community.
