    The political parties of Azerbaijan call on the OSCE Minsk Group
    Co-Chairmen to put an end to double standards, serve peaceful
    settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and not take any reckless
    steps.

    "Political parties of Azerbaijan sharply condemn the OSCE Minsk Group's
    position on the Resolution on 'Situation in Occupied Territories of
    Azerbaijan'- which was adopted by the UN General Assembly," states
    the declaration adopted by the political parties of Azerbaijan during
    the conference organized by the ruling New Azerbaijan Party (NAP)
    on 19 March.

    On 14 March, the UN General Assembly supported the Resolution
    on 'Situation in Occupied Territories of Azerbaijan,' which was
    presented by the Azerbaijani side. The representatives of three
    co-chair countries (USA, Russia and France) of the OSCE Minsk Group
    - established for the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict, voted against the Resolution, i.e. against the territorial
    integrity of Azerbaijan.

    The declaration says that according to the mandate of OSCE Minsk Group,
    the key obligations of the mediators include achieving a peaceful
    settlement of the conflict on the basis of norms and principles of
    the international law.

    "Unfortunately, in several cases, the Minsk Group Co-Chairmen do not
    demonstrate succession in this regard. The statement of Co-Chairmen
    distorting the essence of conflict adversely affected the process
    of peaceful negotiations, nonetheless encouraged occupant country,"
    the declaration says.

    The declaration says that "the Co-Chair countries' vote against the
    document, submitted by the Azerbaijani side to the UN General Assembly,
    brought to serious dissatisfaction in Azerbaijan. Thus, the Co-Chairman
    subjected their objective activities to serious doubts and demonstrated
    solidarity with Armenia, which openly breaks the rights of peaceful
    neighborhood existence and principles of territorial integrity."
