I would like to highlight two points from our meeting in Tsaghkadzor. One is that both sides freely discussed the humanitarian issues that concern them; in our case, of course, this was the is- sue of prisoners, said Naira Sultanyan, Director of the Democracy Develop- ment Foundation and a participant in the ‘Bridge of Peace’ initiative, at a press conference. “I would like to emphasize again that this group does not have the au- thority to influence processes in any way, but it does have the opportunity to shape public opinion. Therefore, once again we tried to explain to our Azerbaijani partners why the pres- ence of prisoners in Baku does not fit into the logic of the current peace pro- cesses. They, for their part, also raised humanitarian issues — the maps of mined areas, the issue of Azerbaijanis missing during the war of the 1990s — and we, as you understand, do not have clear answers, but we are mutually try- ing to understand and clarify certain information,” Sultanyan noted. She emphasized that for both soci- eties the process is moving very quick- ly, and people on both sides are strug- gling to digest these developments. “Both sides complain that they can- not keep up with the political processes. But we noted that usually in history the opposite happens — when societies are ready but political processes move slowly; now we have the opportunity to move forward at an equal, if not faster, pace,” Naira Sultanyan said.
