    POLITICAL PARTIES OF AZERBAIJAN CALL ON OSCE MINSK GROUP CO-CHAIRMEN TO PUT AN END TO DOUBLE STANDARDS

    Azerbaijan, Baku, 19 March /corr. TrendNews I.Alizade / 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 to any take 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," stated by
    the declaration adopted by the political parties 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 each
    three co-chairman-countries ( USA, Russia and France) of the OSCE
    Minsk Grou- which was established for the peaceful settlement of the
    Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, voted against the
    Resolution, i.e. against territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

    The declaration by the ruling party says that Azeri people were
    hoping that the negotiations within the Minsk Group will yield
    positive results and the Armenian side will release occupied
    Azerbaijani territories. "Despite that certain documents regarding
    fair settlement of the conflict were adopted at higher meetings of
    the OSCE, no agreement has been reached as a result of unconstructive
    policy of Armenia," the declaration says.

    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-Chairman 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 occupant Armenia, who openly
    breaks the rights of peaceful neighborhood existence and principles
    of territorial integrity.
