    Baku. Elnur Mammadli - APA. Political parties represented in Milli
    Majlis held a round table protesting OSCE Minsk Group voting against
    the resolution on "Occupied Territories of Azerbaijan" in the 62nd
    session of UN General Assembly.

    According to APA, Ali Ahmadov, Vice-Chairman and Executive Secretary of
    the New Azerbaijan Party (YAP) said Azerbaijan was always advocating
    for peace despite occupation of its lands. A number of unpleasant
    realities were cleared up during the voting in the UN General Assembly,
    which approved the fact of occupation. "Voting against the resolution,
    Minsk Group Co-Chairs, who are mediating for the solution of the
    problem, confirmed that they were against the territorial integrity
    of Azerbaijan. Russia and France have even campaigned against the
    resolution among the other UN members. Today, we invited ambassadors
    of Minsk Group co-chair countries to Azerbaijan to this meeting,
    but rejecting invitations they have demonstrated their positions
    once again".

    Chairman of the United Azerbaijan Popular Front Party Gudrat
    Hasanguliyev referring to the historical facts said that Russia would
    never help the solution of the conflict. He thinks that Christianity
    and Russian military bases in Armenia are playing important role in
    this issue. "Voting of the resolution was positive in one hand that
    the countries calling Azerbaijan as a friend made their positions
    clear". G. Hasanguliyev suggested a review the relations with Iran,
    who has not joined the voting. Chairman of the Motherland Party Fazail
    Agamali said it was significant to focus that three of 13 Minsk Group
    members voted against and others abstained. "The hypocrisy of some
    strategic partners of Azerbaijan should be reacted".

    Chairman of Great Building Party Fazil Gazanfaroglu said co-chairs'
    vote against the resolution had not met the international law. He
    also urged the political parties to send a letter of gratitude to
    the leaders of countries supported the resolution.

    Member of Milli Majlis Azay Guliyev said the Parliament should
    officially react to this issue and to raise the issue of Azerbaijan
    declining the Minsk Group's activity. The political parties issued
    a statement condemning the Minsk Group co-chairs' vote against the
    resolution and demanded clarifying of this position.
