Azerbaijani MP believes signing "Road map" between Azerbaijan and
Turkey is necessary.
"The proposal for signing the "Road map" between Azerbaijan and Turkey
is still urgent. This document is required for taking joint adequate
steps by countries in unexpected situations occurring in the region
and worldwide," the member of the committee on security and defence of
the Milli Majlis, Zahid Oruj told Trend News today.
Signing "Road map" between Turkey and Azerbaijan was offered at one of
the meeting of the Azerbaijani Parliament's autumn session in 2009.
According to Oruj, one of the regulations of the "Road map" should be
related to advancing Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to
the forefront in Turkey's policy.
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 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 the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. General Assembly's
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the
occupied territories.
"This document should reflect Azerbaijan's obligations on recognition
of Turkey's interests," he said.
