    Karabakh veterans appeal to int'l organizations

    BAKU - The Karabakh Liberation Organization (KLO) has appealed to
    international organizations on the occasion of the upcoming visit to
    the region by OSCE Minsk group co-chairs this month.The notorious
    group has been commissioned by the OSCE to mediate a peaceful
    solution to the Armenian-Azerbaijani ethnic conflict over Karabakh.
    KLO unites Azeri veterans of the 1991-1994 Karabakh war, which left
    one fifth of Azerbaijan's areas occupied by Armenian forces, with
    30,000 people dead and almost a million Azeris fleeing from their
    homeland.

    `The Minsk group doesn't work efficiently (towards the resolution of
    the Karabakh conflict) and seeks to conceal aggressive actions
    towards Azerbaijan by Armenia,' the Organization said in an appeal,
    also addressed to the ambassadors of France, Russia and the United
    States - the countries co-chairing the Minsk group.

    The international community recognizes Karabakh as territorial
    integrity of Azerbaijan.However, the KLO chairman, Akif Naghi, who
    holds an academic degree in history, noted that the troubleshooters'
    earlier visit to Karabakh from Armenia, bypassing Azerbaijan, had
    caused a protest with the Azerbaijani public, as `this action had
    been directed against the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and
    been in line with the interests of Armenia.'

    Despite the occupation of almost 20 per cent of Azerbaijan's
    territory, the international community - including the Council of
    Europe and European Union - refuses to recognize Armenia as an
    aggressor country.
