    Deputy PM accuses several countries of absence of interest in
    resolving Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

    Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec.23 / Trend M. Aliyev /


    Azerbaijani Deputy Prime Minister, head of the State Refugees and IDP
    Committee Ali Hasanov accused the international organizations and
    several countries of the absence of interest in resolving the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    "International organizations and several countries are not interested
    in resolving the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," Ali
    Hasanov said on Thursday.

    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 of Nagorno Karabakh and the surrounding
    regions.

    The presence of a conflict in this region meets several countries'
    interests, as countries that received the sovereignty after the
    collapse of the Soviet Union became dependent on them, Hasanov said.
    According to him, thus the international organizations and some
    countries were able to rule the region with a view to using natural
    resources.

    The past 20 years, he said, showed that international organizations
    are at times interested in the unresolved conflict more than Armenia.


    "Today the Azerbaijani people, including refugees and internally
    displaced persons set all the hopes associated with the resolution of
    the Nagorno-Karabakh on the Azerbaijani President's policy," Hasanov
    said.
