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.
