    International community admits it is time to solve Nagorno Karabakh
    conflict: Azerbaijani deputy speaker


    Azerbaijan, Baku, August 10 / Trend News J. Babayeva /

    Deputy speaker of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis (the Parliament) said
    that the international community considers that it is time to solve
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    "It is impossible not to appreciate intensity of talks held to solve
    the conflict. Several international organizations consider it is time
    to solve the conflict. It is a good tendency," Azerbaijani deputy
    speaker, MP, Bahar Muradova, said in the interview with official
    website of New Azerbaijan ruling party on August 10.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan
    lost all of Nagorno-Karabakh except for Shusha and Khojali in December
    1991. In 1992-93, Armenian armed forces occupied Shusha, Khojali and 7
    districts surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijan and Armenia signed
    a ceasefire in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia,
    France, and the U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.

    Acceleration of OSCE efforts can be considered as positive factor,
    Muradova said. "It is necessary to use these opportunities with
    maximal benefit. Only Azerbaijan has rates of economic development
    among Caucasian countries. It is connected with right policy. We want
    three countries of the region to develop simultaneously and
    inter-relations to be at hing-level between them," deputy speaker
    said.

    If there is no peace, it will be impossible to use benefit of projects
    in the region, Muradova said. "The international community and
    different countries will fail to realize projects in the region
    completely without peace. The international community must join peace
    process for the sake of these interests. We wish these efforts to
    bring results and it will be possible to persuade Armenia to refuse
    from non-constructive position. Otherwise, other means can be used to
    protect Azerbaijani territory as the Azerbaijani President said,"
    deputy speaker said.
