Polad Bulbul Oghly stated that he'll pass though Azerbaijan, should he visit Stepanakert

PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan Ambassador to Russia Polad Bulbul Oghly denied the information on his intention to visit NKR jointly with RA Ambassador to Russia Armen Smbatyan.



"Our position is that such visits promote communication between representatives of both countries societies, further peace process and strengthen mutual trust. In this sense, even after the first visit, we periodically discussed the possibility of second trip. Yet no concrete agreements concerning format, structure, terms and organizational condition of the trip are reached yet. As for the route, I'd like to confirm that our passage through Armenia while on our way to NKR, especially "with the permission of NKR authorities" is impossible. These are just surmises.



Should the second trip take place, it will be fulfilled via the route of the first one. Meaning, the Azeri delegation will visit NKR through Azerbaijan, while Armenian delegation will pass through Armenia," Vesti.Az cited Bulbul Oghly as saying.



As PanARMENIAN.Net learnt from reliable sources, Azerbaijan Ambassador to Russia Polad Bulbul Ogly and RA Ambassador to Russia Armen Smbatyan plan to visit Armenia on their way to NKR in the middle of July .The diplomats will pass through Armenia to visit NKR, having received official permission from NKR authorities.



The ambassadors have scheduled a meeting with NKR President Bako Sahakyan, a visit to Amaras and Shushi. Most probably, Smbatyan and Bulbul Ogly will cross NKR border by car and will proceed their way to Baku  



On June 28, 2007, representatives of Armenian and Azeri intelligentsia paid a visit to Stepanakert, Yerevan and Baku on the initiative of Azeri and Armenian Ambassadors to RF, Armen Smbatyan and Polad Bulbul Ogly.
