BAKU. Sept 6 (Interfax) - There is no alternative to the reintegration of Armenians who live in the Karabakh region, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov said.
"A special representative appointed by the Azerbaijani president held the first meeting in Karabakh [regarding the Armenian population's reintegration] at the beginning of this year, after which an invitation to the next meeting in an Azerbaijani city was made as a kind of 'rotation'. The Armenian population was informed that the representative of the central authorities would be ready to continue such meetings in the same rotation format. The third meeting would again be held in Karabakh, the fourth in an Azerbaijani city, the fifth in Karabakh, and so on and so forth," Bayramov said in an interview with the Azerbaijani state-run news agency AzerTaj and the Hungarian weekly Magyar Demokrata.
It is important to Baku to begin the process of dialogue, Bayramov said. "The only way is dialogue and discussion of their future as part of Azerbaijan. There is no other way, as all the rest is unlawful. This is our red line. There will be no more gray zones in the territory of Azerbaijan," he said.
