    Azerbaijan, Baku, 4 April / corr. TrendNews I. Alizade/ The ruling
    party of Azerbaijan does not support the forum and adoption of a
    unified document with the participation of all the political parties
    on the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    `The position of all the political parties on Nagorno-Karabakh is
    similar. There are also opportunities to bring this position in the
    notice of society and international organizations. Therefore, there
    is no need to hold a forum for participation of all the parties,' Ali
    Ahmadov, the executive secretary of the ruling Yeni Azerbaijan party,
    said to media.

    The oppositional Democratic Party of Azerbaijan believes there are
    similar opinions on Nagorno-Karabakh in both government and
    opposition, and dialogue should be held in this regard.

    The Resolution on `Situation in Occupied Lands of Azerbaijan' was
    adopted by UN in March. The co-chair countries of OSCE Minsk group
    voted against the document, which was strongly condemned by the
    Azerbaijani government and opposition.

    According to Ahmadov, as the parties have common interests and
    positions on Nagorno-Karabakh, therefore, there is no need for
    getting together to inform of the respective positions, once again.
    `The positions of the parties on Nagorno-Karabakh coincide with the
    national interests,' he said.

    The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began in
    1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since
    1992, Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan including
    the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven surrounding districts. In
    1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which
    time the active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk
    Group ( Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding peaceful
    negotiations.
