Azerbaijan sends protest letter to European Parliament president
Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 10 /Trend, S.Agayeva/
Azerbaijani mission to the EU has sent a protest letter to the
President of European Parliament Jerzy Buzek in connection with the
demonstration of a film, based on false materials, during a meeting of
the Armenian delegation with the representatives of European
Parliament, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elkhan Polukhov
told Trend on Friday.
According to him, the document has also been sent to the Chairman of
Committee on Cooperation with South Caucasus countries. The letter
also points to the inadmissibility of such propaganda of the Armenian
side.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the United
States - are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation ofNagorno Karabakh and the surrounding
regions.
