During the autumn session of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, the
report, regarding Azerbaijan in the Security and Defense Committee,
included counteraction from the Armenian side, the Vice Speaker
of Milli Majlis [Azerbaijani Parliament], Head of the Azerbaijani
delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, Ziyafet Askerov,
briefed the media, Trend reports.
"Issues such as the interaction of the South Caucasus countries
(Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia) with NATO, social, political
and economical situation in these countries and other topics were
presented to the discussions at the NATO 52nd autumn session. The
key issue for us was the territorial integrity and sovereignty of
Azerbaijan. We amended the report twice, and the 3rd report differed
somewhat from the previous reports. Therefore, we agreed to present
the report to the discussion. However, we expressed our proposals and
remarks regarding the report. The report reflected a number of issues
linked with Azerbaijan, especially counteraction from the Armenian
side and the exact figures of the occupied Azerbaijani territories
and refugees and internally displaced persons," Askerov stated.
According to Askerov, the Armenians were angry when Azerbaijan
submitted the documents confirming that the Armenians arrived in
Nagorno-Karabakh 150 years ago and to confirm this fact we also
presented photographs of monuments erected in Nagorno-Karabakh. "I
consider that the documents submitted by ourselves played a significant
part and as a result the relevant document was adopted.
It is the first document adopted within NATO Parliamentary Assembly
and Security and Defense Committee. In future, we will try to adopt
the Resolution of the Parliamentary Assembly," Askerov stated.
