Azerbaijan, Baku, 9 January / Trend corr. I.Alizade / Azerbaijan
demand the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly to recognize Armenia as an
agressive state.
"The Azerbaijani Delegation to the PACE repeatedly raised the issue to
discuss the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and to recognize Armenia as an
aggressive country, during the sessions. However, the Parliamentary
Assembly leadership denies to recognize Armenia as an aggressive
country," MP Eldar Ibrahim, a member of the Azerbaijani Delegation
to OSCE PA and the chairman of the permanent Parliamentary Commission
on Agrarian Policy, stated to Trend agency.
The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began
in 1988, due to the Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan.
Since 1992, the Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven neighbouring
districts. In 1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire
agreement which ended the active hostilities. The Co-Chairs of the
OSCE Minsk Group ( Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding
the peaceful negotiations.
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe recognized
Armenia as an aggressive country, by passing the resolution 1416 in
January 2005.
According to Ibrahimov, in February, the Azerbaijani Delegation will
raise the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, the issue for consideration in
the session of the OSCE PA in Vena. Azerbaijan has six members in
the OSCE PA.
