Former Armenian ambassador to Russia, Director of the Intergovernmental Fund of Humanitarian Cooperation of CIS, Armen Smbatyan, told APA’s Moscow bureau that Azerbaijani and Armenian media chiefs plan to meet in Russia’s capital within the framework of humanitarian initiative. The aim is to bring closer the Azerbaijani and Armenian communities with the view of supporting the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
According to him, such meetings will help to bring closer the communities of the two countries:
“We will try to hold this meeting by the end of this year. We organize the meeting of media chiefs, as they have more information. They are closer to the society. We must help to establish atmosphere of confidence in the societies of the two countries.”
The recent meeting was held at the editorial office of “Rossiyskaya qazeta” on June 4. The meetings are being held on the initiative of Russian President’s Special Envoy for International Cultural Cooperation Mikhail Shvydkoy.
