NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT
Azerbaijan, Baku, 13 August / Trend News corr. R.Novruzov / The United
States is the one country where the Parliament renders assistance to
Nagorno-Karabakh separatist regime, Gultakin Hajiyeva, Deputy Chairman
of the Azerbaijani standing Parliamentary Commission on International
Relations and Parliamentary Ties and member of Azerbaijani Delegation
to PACE, said.
"Since getting independence we understood that the United States
differs from the country that we idealized initially," Hajiyeva said.
The United States had not cancelled the 907th amendment so far and
attempts to calm Azerbaijan by holding moratorium.
According to Hajiyeva, the United States and Azerbaijan are strategic
partners. "Compared to other OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, the United
States is preferred partner for Azerbaijan," Hajiyeva stated.
The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began in
1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan
lost the control over Nagorno- Karabakh (excluding Shusha and
Khojali) to December 1991. Shusha, Khojali and seven regions had
been occupied. 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.
OSCE Minsk Group co-chaired by USA, Russia, France is engaged in
peace settling of the conflict.
