Extractions: The Nagorno-Karabagh area has during the last ten years been the reason to a conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Nagarno-Karabagh is an enclave in Azerbaijan, with no border with Armenia, but the majority of the population is Armenian, with a different culture, religion and language than the Azeris. In 1988 the Armenians in Nagorno-Karabagh petitioned to becoming a part of Armenia. The refusal led to massive demonstrations in Armenia and Nagorno-Karabagh. The Karabagh Armenians declared independence in 1991, seizing almost 20 percent of the area of Azerbaijan, and creating one million refugees. A cease-fire has been in effect since May 1994, but the parts can not come to a peaceful solution. Armenia refuses to recognise the Lisbon Protocal from 1995 (made in agreement with the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, OSCE), which is a declaration of principles for how to resolve the conflict. The Armenian president Levon Ter-Petrossian's resigned his post in February 1998. His resignation Former Prime Minister Robert Kocharian became president of Armenia. After this the attitudes against Azerbaijan have hardened. In May 1999 The All Azerbaijan Movement for Karabagh submitted a proposal which includes five steps to end the conflict. The plan offered the Karabagh Armenians a limited autonomy (an autonomous republic within Azerbaijan). The proposal also included some demands, the Armenian troops would be replaced with international peace keepers from UN and OSCE.

Extractions: ANKARA AND BAKU FOCUS ON GRAND PROJECTS With Azeri President Haidar Aliyev's visit to Ankara, the two countries focus on major projects such as Baku-Ceyhan and Shah Sea natural gas pipelines. Nagorno-Karabagh is also a major topic As Turkey and Azerbaijan have agreed on the project for Shah Sea natural gas to be exported to Turkish markets, now the two countries focus on the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline project and political problems with Armenia, particularly on the Nagorno-Karabagh occupation and the Armenian genocide allegations. Upon his reception of Azeri President Haidar Aliyev, President Ahmet Necdet Sezer said the new developments had necessitated that the policies of Turkey and Azerbaijan should complement and support each other. Calling Aliyev his "beloved brother," Sezer said Turkey and Azerbaijan were two important countries in their region. The Speaker of the Parliament Omer Izgi, Foreign Minister Ismail Cem, State Minister Abdulhaluk Cay, State Minister Yuksel Yalova, Finance Minister Sumer Oral, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Cumhur Ersumer, Culture Minister Istemihan Talay and Ministry of Foreign Ministry Deputy Undersecretary Yigit Alpogan attended the ceremony welcoming Aliyev. Stressing that all bilateral relations would be handled thoroughly and all energy would be focused on ways to develop economic and commercial relations, Sezer said they would evaluate all the necessary steps to realize the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline project, which will be the backbone of the East-West energy corridor, in the shortest possible time. "It gives us pride that we will sign the agreement to purchase the Shah Sea natural gas during Aliyev's visit. This agreement, which confirms our determination to bring the Azeri natural gas to Turkey, will also be an important step toward joining other pipeline projects." said Sezer.

Extractions: Ladies and Gentlemen, Let me begin, Mr. President, by congratulating you on your election as President of the 56 th Session of the United Nations General Assembly. I would like also to express our appreciation and respect to H.E.Mr. Harri Holkeri, for the professionalism and dedication with which he conducted the previous session. Since the September 11 acts of terrorism, each of us, as individuals and as leaders responsible for the future of the planet, has been trying to understand what happened, why and how. The universal condemnation of the arrogance and fascist mentality that conceives and implements such terror could not have been more justified. The immediate determination that the perpetrators must be punished and its bases eliminated was necessary and prudent. The awareness that this is a long and manifold process remains evident. Scholars and analysts have attempted to explore and explain the Day of Terror, its causes and its ramifications. This is a necessary process that will, if we are patient, begin with more questions than answers. It will, if we listen, unavoidably lead to dialog. Not just this year but every year. If we are honest, this dialog will reflect the fact that although we all see quite plainly that there is a change, we don't agree on what this change is and how it affects each of us.

Extractions: Ladies and Gentlemen, First of all, allow me to congratulate you and the other elected members of the Bureau and to wish you success in carrying out your mandate at this highest podium. Let me also acknowledge the Secretary General of the World Conference and High Commissioner for Human Rights, Madame Robinson's personal efforts in successfully forging ahead with this world forum. My government would also like to join in the warm congratulations addressed to the South African people and authorities on the occasion of convening this conference. The choice of South Africa - where right triumphed over wrong - is evidence that, in this new century, the world is ready to acknowledge its responsibility and announce its solemn commitment to battle racism and genocide, as well as the xenophobia and discrimination that give rise to them. If we do our job effectively, this conference will be recognized as one of the most important UN gatherings. For that to happen, we must stand firm in our conviction that humanity, as one family, is committed to prevention, education and protection aimed at the eradication, once and for all, of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. We all share this heavy responsibility, if for no other reason than that, throughout history, each of our nations has been impacted by such fanaticism, either as victim or as aggressor. And more significantly, in a world where such horrors are eradicated, we all stand to thrive.

Samed Vurgun also proactively engaged a number of international and local organizations to assist them in addressing their development priorities. Most significantly, Samed Vurgun used their skills and experience to implement several community development projects on their own, including the installation of a badly needed potable water supply system, the disposal of accumulated hazardous wastes and the repair of major roads within the village.

Azerbaijan was incorporated into the Russian Empire in the early nineteenth century. Briefly independent from 1918, it was invaded again in 1920 and became the Soviet republic of Transcaucasia. In 1992, following the break-up of the Soviet Union and in the euphoria of new democracy, former communist leader Heydar Aliev was replaced by the pro-Turk Abulsaz Elchibey, who attempted to lead the country towards closer connections with the West. Soaring inflation and war with Armenia over Nagorno-Karabagh swiftly led to disillusion. By 1993 Aliev was again in power and guiding the country back into a close relationship with Russia.
