Azerbaijani Council of State Support is ready to finance NGOs operating in the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh, Council Chairman, MP Azay Guliyev told Trend on Monday.
"In view of the fact that Armenians living in the occupied territories are also Azerbaijani citizens, support for their initiatives in this field within certain rules set by the Council is possible. NGOs operating in Nagorno-Karabakh, bring to us their own desires through indirect ways. In particular, at international activities they approach our representatives and ask about the opportunity to submit a draft to Azerbaijan and the Council. Our answer is that any citizen or created union respecting the laws and the Constitution of Azerbaijan, can take full advantage of the capabilities of the state. However, fearing the military junta in Khankendi and the separatist regime, Armenian NGOs ask to keep this a secret," Guliyev said.
He said social projects, projects for the protection of historic monuments and projects on the ecology of Armenian NGOs in Nagorno-Karabakh can be supported.
