    AZERBAIJANI PEOPLE WILL NOT ACCEPT DEFEATIST PEACE - MP

    Panakh Huseyn Azerbaijan's parliament, the Milli Majlis, today
    discussed the latest developments in settling the conflict with
    Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh.

    Serious debate is under way at present on the possibility of settling
    the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict by force, but at the same time there
    is concern that the Madrid proposals are pushing for discussion of
    the status of the separatist Nagorno-Karabakh republic, opposition
    MP Panakh Huseyn said.

    "Nobody will be able to force the Azerbaijani people to accept a
    defeatist peace," the Musavat Party MP said.

    He urged the authorities not to change course on settling the conflict
    within the framework of Azerbaijan's sovereignty.

    Fazil Mustafa, chairman of the Great Creation Party, stressed the need
    to involve the political parties in the Karabakh negotiating process.

    Zahid Oruj, deputy chairman of the Ana Vatan (Motherland) Party said
    everybody should unite around the president and support his decisions
    on the Karabakh conflict.

    Gudrat Hasanguliyev, chairman of the United Popular Front Party,
    protested at media criticism of Azerbaijan's closeness with Russia.

    "Even if Azerbaijan asks, it will not be admitted to NATO. But we
    can reach an agreement with Russia, become a member of the Collective
    Security Treaty Organization and deploy Russian military bases in our
    territory," Hasanguliyev said. "International organizations and states
    say that Azerbaijani territories have been occupied, but they do not
    recognize Armenia as an aggressor state. Moreover, America helps the
    Nagorno-Karabakh separatists and Section 907 has not been repealed."

    Mubariz Gurbanli, a member of the ruling New Azerbaijan Party, said
    no one should use the Nagorno-Karabakh problem to draw political
    dividends. He said that 17,000 sq.km of Azerbaijan had been occupied.

    He suggested adopting a special law on the occupied territories which
    would ban the operation of international organizations there.

    Sabir Rustamkhanli, chairman of the Civic Solidarity Party, said that
    the Turkish media and public knew more about the Karabakh negotiations
    than the Azerbaijani media and public.

    "Why do Turkish parliamentarians know more about the negotiations?" he
    asked.
