Azerbaijan Rejects Karabakh Any Proposal on Cooperation

PanARMENIAN.Net - «There were no requests for cooperation by Azerbaijan and in general I do not think Baku aims at establishing cooperation and forming a constructive atmosphere," NKR President Arkady Ghoukassian said. In his words, Azerbaijan has other purposes: to create problems over Karabakh and attain the international community denouncing what is going on in Karabakh. "If Azerbaijan had suggested cooperation, we would agree with pleasure," the NKR President said.



In the Karabakh leader's words, NKR authorities have addressed similar requests to the Azeri colleagues many times, but these were in vain. "The more we are associated with Azeris, the more there are chances to settle the conflict. We have many problems relating to water, fires and other matters. I am sure that border area residents of Azerbaijan are interested in contacts as well. However, Azeri authorities were always against this,» Ghoukassian said, reports KarabakhOpen.
