Azerbaijan, Baku, 26 May / corr. TrendNews S. Agayeva/ The conditions
have been created to continue the peace talks on settlement of the
Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict, Khazar Ibrahim, the spokesperson of
the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan, said to media while commenting
on the upcoming meeting of the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia
in St Petersburg on 6 June.
" Azerbaijan expects a constructive position from the new Armenian
government on the settlement of the Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict,"
Ibrahim said.
According to Ibrahim, Armenia should demonstrate a will, understand
realities, and should take steps for the solution of the conflict. "The
new conditions to continue the peace talks can contribute to the
solution of the conflict," said Ibrahim.
The Resolution on Nagorno-Karabakh passed by the UN General Assembly
has created favorable conditions to continue talks between Azerbaijan
and Armenia, Ibrahim stated.
The UN General Assembly supported Resolution on Situation in the
Occupied Territory of Azerbaijan introduced by Azerbaijan. The
Resolution demanded the immediate, full and unconditional withdrawal
of all the Armenian armed forces from all the occupied territory of the
Republic of Azerbaijan. The Resolution confirms 'the indefeasible right
of the population driven out the occupied territory of Azerbaijan,
to return to their homeland and demands to create appropriate
conditions for their return including comprehensive rehabilitation
of the territory damaged by the conflict'.
The conflict between the two countries of the South Caucasus began
in 1988 due to Armenian territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Since
1992, Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20% of Azerbaijan including
the Nagorno-Karabakh region and its seven surrounding districts. In
1994, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement at which
time the active hostilities ended. The Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk
Group ( Russia, France, and the US) are currently holding peaceful
negotiations.
