APA presents the statement:
Peace is the most superior virtue that people want in this world. That’s why I believe
peaceful solution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict. I express my respect and support to
territorial integrity, sovereignty and internationally recognized borders of Azerbaijan and
Armenia.
Furthermore, I would like to stress the importance of UN Security Council resolutions
and other resolutions and decisions of other international organizations. I emphasize the importance of measures taken by OSCE Minsk Group towards the settlement of the
conflict.
As a historian, I would like to note that Armenian and Azerbaijani nations lived together
in peace and prosperity before the conflict. These relations were the result of neighbourhood and friendship. I want to state with regret that the perception between
these two nations has formed in the context of war as a result of unresolved conflict. I
support the peace initiative and believe that this initiative will contribute to the solution of the conflict. Therefore, I make a statement about joining “Armenia-Azerbaijan Platform for Peace”, which is aimed at peaceful solution of the conflict and restoring and preserving peace in South Caucasus.
