Russian Armenians and Azeris to work towards reconciliation

Representatives of the Armenian and Azeri diasporas in Russia have agreed to team up to promote reconciliation between Armenia and Azerbaijan, locked in a long-standing territorial dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh, according to the radio Voice of Russia.

At a roundtable in Moscow this week, they decided to form a permanent joint committee to deal with conflict situations in Russia.

President of the Union of Russian Armenians and UNESCO goodwill ambassador Ara Abrahamyan was quoted as saying: "We are, all of us, citizens of Russia. We have nothing to share or dispute here. We should set an example for, send a reconciliation message to our historical homelands – Armenia and Azerbaijan".
