It is necessary to pass a law declaring persons visiting the occupied
territories without Azerbaijan's permission for it, MP Ganira Pashayeva
said today at the parliamentary meeting.
"This law should apply not only to politicians, but also culture
figures," she added.
According to Pashayeva, it is important that appeal, which will be
sent to the leadership of the European Parliament in connection with
Tomasz Poreba, was also addressed to all European parliamentarians.
This appeal separately should be directed to the leadership and
Polish MPs.
Pashayeva urged all Azerbaijani Diaspora organizations to send protest
letters regarding Tomasz Poreba in the European countries' parliaments.
MEP, the keynote speaker on Armenia Tomasz Poreba, is on a visit
to Nagorno-Karabakh from Dec.19, where he is holding meetings with
the leadership of the unrecognized republic and discussing issues
concerning the resolution of the Karabakh conflict, the situation
in the region and bilateral relations, the Armenian media outlets
reported.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including
the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The
co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
are currently holding peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the United Nations Security Council's
four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
