    The Nagorno-Karabakh problem was discussed at the 5th plenary session
    of the initiative group of the Parliamentary Assembly of South
    Caucasus in London, the chairman of social policy commission of
    Azerbaijani parliament Hadi Rajabli who participated at the session
    told journalists, Trend reports. The Azerbaijani delegation attending
    the meeting included Siyavush Novruzov, Kh.Rajabli and chairman of
    parliament commission for agrarian policy Eldar Ibrahimov.

    Rajabli noted that the discussions aimed at finding a way for the
    settlement of the conflict. `The position of Azerbaijan was steady
    and reasoned. Other representatives agreed with our opinions. The
    Georgian delegation protected our position in all aspects,' ho told.

    Azerbaijani deputies announced that the efforts of liberating the
    occupied territories through war have increased in the country and
    besides, the budget of the military expenditures have been raised.
    `It was stated at the meeting held under chair of the head of Eastern
    European countries department of the Foreign Ministry of Great
    Britain Symon Smite that if Azerbaijan is eager to the peaceful
    solution of the conflict, then why to take arm. We brought an
    argument that it is not increased the interest of military
    expenditures in the state budget. For the reason

    of increase of budget expenditures, the finance was directed toward
    various spheres. I told in my speech that if the military
    expenditures of Azerbaijan is of concern for you, then why do you
    keep silence for the delivery of Russian military technique from
    Georgia to Armenia? Russia has supplied $1 billion military arms to
    Armenia, but no-one came against it. I stressed that Azerbaijan will
    take any possible steps to ensure its territorial integrity,' he
    added.

    According to Rajabli, during the meeting, it was announced the
    position of Armenian side regarding Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
    `Armenian deputies stressed that the co-chairs of OSCE Minsk Group
    announces that Azerbaijan doesn't accept their proposals. And we said
    that Azerbaijan cannot agree with the proposals bringing damage to
    its territorial integrity. In any cases, the economic growth of
    Azerbaijan makes Armenia worried. They take a great interest in
    establishing economic relations. We have stressed that it is possible
    only after settlement of all problems. Besides, we drew the attention
    to the fires committed by Armenians in Azerbaijan's occupied
    territories,' he said.

    The next meeting is planned to be held in December in Dubai. That
    meeting will focus on the cooperation in the sphere of ecology,
    transport and banks.
