First deputy speaker: Day of Azerbaijani occupied territories'
liberation is not far
Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec.23 / Trend T. Hajiyev /
The day of the liberation of the Azerbaijani occupied territories is
not far away, Parliamentary First Deputy Speaker Ziyafet Askerov said.
"We have repeatedly stated and continue to state that the day of the
liberation of the occupied territories of Azerbaijan is not far away,"
he said. "Today's political situation in the world is changing in
favor of Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and you will
witness it."
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 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 peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
surrounding regions.
