    Islamabad for Azerbaijan as integral state - Musharraf

    Baku. (Interfax-Azerbaijan) - The Pakistani authorities have always
    stood for preserving Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, visiting
    Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said in the Azerbaijani
    parliament on Friday.

    "Pakistan's official authorities have always wanted Azerbaijan's
    territorial integrity to remain intact. This is our unwavering
    position. The Pakistani government and every Pakistani citizen will
    always support
    Azerbaijan on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue," Musharraf said.

    "We think that the Azerbaijani government needs to restore the
    country's territorial integrity. We would like to give our assurance
    that the Pakistani people will spare no efforts in this issue," he
    said.

    Azerbaijan lost control over Nagorno-Karabakh and seven neighboring
    districts as a result of a conflict with Armenia in the 1990s.

    The UN Security Council has issued a number of resolutions denouncing
    Armenia's occupation of the Azerbaijani district and urging Armenia
    to withdraw its troops.

    The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's Minsk
    Group, comprising the United States, Russia, and France, has been
    involved in helping to settle the dispute between Azerbaijan and
    Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh.
