World Armenian youths to gather in occupied Azeri land

According to AssA-Irada, the gathering will be organized within the framework of the 2nd Pan-Armenian "one nation – one culture" festival to be also held across Armenian cities and in the Javakhetia region of Georgia densely populated by Armenians, a source from Azerbaijan's Irali (Forward) National Youth Movement said.

About 2,000 representatives from Armenia, Russia, Italy, USA, Austria, Australia, Turkey, England, France, Iran and Syria are expected to attend the event to be sponsored by Armenian President Robert Kocharian, the same source said.

The Irali Movement, in its appeal to the embassies of foreign countries, regarded the planned visit by the mentioned countries' citizens to Karabakh to join the festival as disrespect to Azerbaijan's territorial integrity.

The youth organization also intends to inform the Georgian embassy in Baku about the planned festival.

"We will enumerate the areas to host the event so that the word 'occupied' is not used for the Javakhetia region in the future," it said in a statement.
