The Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC) demanded Armenia
immediately, unconditionally and irrevocably withdraw its armed units
from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, according to a declaration
adopted at the 33rd session of the Council of OIC Foreign Ministers.
The foreign ministers said the settlement of the occupied territories
of Azerbaijan, the economic activity and the exploitation of natural
resources "are illegal and cause damage to the peace process." They
condemned the destruction of cultural monuments and voiced concern
about mass fires in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
The OIC urged the international community to take all the necessary
measures to achieve a peace agreement on the dragged-out conflict
in Nagorno-Karabakh. "We urge the OIC member-states to support
Azerbaijan's efforts to restore its territorial integrity and
sovereignty," the declaration says.
