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.
