Azerbaijan, Baku, 18 February /corr. Trend News S.Agayeva /
Azerbaijan calls upon the international community to seriously react
to the placement of Kurdish Workers' Party (PKK) terrorist bases
Azerbaijani territories occupied by Armenia.
`The information on re-deployment of PKK military bases in
Nagorno-Karabakh should be accepted seriously,' the Press Secretary
of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's Press Service, Khazar Ibrahim,
briefed the media on 18 February.
Israeli Special services confirmed the information on the placement
of terrorist groups in Nagorno-Karabakh after Turkey's military
operations at the border with Iraq.
According to Ibrahim, Azerbaijan cannot independently control the
territory of Nagorno-Karabakh occupied by Armenia.
Khazar Ibrahim brought three key reasons for Azerbaijan's appeal to
the international community. `Firstly, Azerbaijan cannot
independently control the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh occupied by
Armenia, secondly Armenia is well-known as a country possessing wide
experience in terrorism, thirdly the PKK is an active terrorist
organization,' he said. According to Ibrahim, all this may bring
significant harm to stability in the whole region. ` Azerbaijan,
itself or in political contact with other states, may fight against
the PKK in Nagorno-Karabakh,' he added.
The conflict between the two countries of South Caucasus began in
1988 due to territorial claims by Armenia against Azerbaijan. Armenia
has occupied 20% of the Azerbaijani land including the
Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven surrounding Districts. Since
1992, these territories have been under the occupation of the
Armenian Forces. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire
agreement at which time active hostilities ended. The Co-chairs of
the OSCE Minsk Group ( Russia, France and USA) are currently holding
peaceful negotiations.
