The Azerbaijani delegation will spare no effort in the winter session
of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly to discuss the resolution on the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict at the spring session of the organization,
Eldar Ibrahimov, member of the Azerbaijani delegation to OSCE PA,
told Trend.
He said that a proposal will be made to adopt a specific resolution
on Nagorno-Karabakh at the winter session of the OSCE Parliamentary
Assembly, together with the views of the unsatisfactory activity of
the Minsk Group.
The winter session of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly will be held
in the Austrian capital of Vienna on February 23-25.
Ibrahimov said that vacant post of Special Representative on
Nagorno-Karabakh in OSCE creates problems in resolving this issue.
Earlier, Goran Lennmarker held this post.
"We are interested in appointing a fair person able to consider the
issue on Nagorno-Karabakh at the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly," he said.
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 United
States. - are currently holding 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.
