Dashnaks pleased with Baku meetings
Armenian Revolutionary Federation - Dashnaktsutyun and Social Democratic Party of Azerbaijan are scheduled to present their proposals on the Karabakh conflict resolution during a meeting of Socialist International to be held in Paris on November 15-16.
The decision was taken during a SI meeting in Baku on October 11-12.
ARF-Dashnaktsutyun Bureau member Mario Nalpantyan and head of the ARF Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Kiro Manoyan also participated in the meeting
"Socialist International regularly makes similar offers to conflicting parties, hears their opinions and tries to find a mutually beneficial agreement," Kiro Mnaoyan told reporters on October 13.
Mario Nalpantyan reminded that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was settled thanks to SI efforts. The Armenian delegates said they were pleased with Baku meetings as they could convey whatever we wanted.
"The three-hour debate with Araz Alizade, co-chairman of Azerbaijan's Social Democratic Party, revealed Azerbaijan's weak points," Mr. Nalpantyan said.
"When we reminded that Azerbaijan has a conflict with Nagorno-Karabakh and not with Armenia, Azerbaijanis kept silent and changed the theme of the conversation," he said.
ARF members stressed that they was duly received in Baku, with necessary security measures taken. "Except for my visa problems, which made me stay at the airport for five hours, it was all right," Napandyan said.
