discussing this issue, I would kindly ask you to familiarize yourself with the
trustworthy UN information, which I think is universally considered to be more accurate
and unbiased: </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">I had never doubt that the refugee issue is under
close attention of very skillful experts with international background. Refugee
issue is one of the central issues UN is very profoundly engaged in.  </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">You say that “the
conflict probably needs a long-term externally mediated peace-building effort”.
</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">However,
what exactly do you mean: the return of Armenian refugees to Shahumian,
Dashkesan, Khanlar, Ganja, Khazakh and Nakhichevan? </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Or, maybe, the
establishment of a security zone along the frontage of the Kura River, so that
the 150.000 citizens of Nagorno Karabakh could continue to build its democratic
state in a more secure environment?</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Instead of
organizing such flashy events as Eurovision (cost $500 million, see link (1)
below) or pursuing caviar diplomacy (see link (2) below), Azerbaijan’s
government could finally pay some attention to the refugee issue. </span></p>

you bring an example of a refugee living in Sumgait. </span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Concerning
Sumgait, or its neighboring Baku, only the living areas of more than 250 000
Armenian civilians exiled with massive pogroms and massacres from Baku and
Sumgait plus money (such as wasted on Eurovision) are more than enough for the problem of refugees had
been solved long ago. Not to speak about living areas left by Armenians in Shahumian,
Dashkesan, Khanlar, Ganja, Khazakh, etc.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">If I were in
Baku within the last four days and was so much concerned with refugee issue, I would,
instead of enjoying lavish gala dinners, stay on starvation and ask the
organizers to send the food to Azeri refugees. </span></p>
