Budapest, March 10 (MTI) - Hungary played a positive role in settling
the Azeri-Armenian conflict by approving in 1994, as chairman-in-office
of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE), the
replacement of Russian forces with international peacekeeping units
in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, the Azeri ambassador to Hungary told
reporters in Budapest on Thursday.
Speaking on the recent discussion about the Azeri-Armenian conflict
at the UN Security Council and the Council of Europe, Ambassador
Hassan Hasanov said that in the early 1990s Armenian aggressors had
occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan's territory, killed over 18,000
people and forced approximately one million Azeris into exile. At
the press conference, a TV-footage and images were displayed to
demonstrate that Armenia was still pursuing an active settlement
policy in Nagorno-Karabakh.
"Organised crime, illegal trading and drugs trafficking are also
problems in Karabakh today," the ambassador said.
